1. Do you mind if I ask you to open the door?

2. Do you mind if I asked you to open the door?
------------------------
#1 is correct. How about #2? Can we use 'asked'? •English - Writeacher, Friday, September 30, 2016 at 7:13am
You can use either, but the tense in 2 is off. #1 is better.
============================
Thank you for your help.

3. Do you mind if I asked you to open the door?

4. Would you mind if I asked you to open the door?

(#4 is grammatical, isn't it? In writing, if a person writes as in #3, isn't it incorrect?) •English - Ms. Sue, Monday, October 10, 2016 at 5:31pm
Both are correct, but not used much.
===================
Thank you for your help.
Shouldn't we use 'ask,' the present tense in school grammar? Do you mean both are ok,'ask' and 'asked'?

3-1. Do you mind if I ask/asked you to open the door?

1 answer

Correct would be this: Do you mind if I ask you to open the door?

... both verbs in present tense, please!
