When you want to watch television and happen to have to interrupt someone, do you say, "Can I watch the TV?" or do you say, "Are you watching the TV?"
Because to me, both don't seem suitable enough. When you ask, "Are you watching the TV?" is pretty stupid, seeing how my mum IS staring at the screen and doing the obvious. Although sometimes, when I ask my mum that, she says, "No, I'm not."
And when you ask "Can I watch the TV?", I know very well my mum will say, "Watch la." Which she meant, okay go ahead, sit down and watch TV with me.
So right now, I want to watch Hannah Montana but I don't know how to ask my mum if I can interrupt her.
