不是錯誤的,但是幾乎聽起來像請求,我個人會說"You can have my seat, I'm almost home"。

@rickyshie0724 I wouldn't say that it sounds demanding, but rather like a polite request where the person saying it wants the other person to do something for them. In this case, however, the person talking is doing something for the other person: offering their seat to them.

@soderstromaxel Oh, so it’s better to say to someone “You can,,,” when I’m offering help or something to someone while use “Please” when I’d like someone to do something for me?

@rickyshie0724 "Please have a seat" is more like, for example, what a doctor would tell someone who has just come into the office for their appointment.

Generally, if you are asking someone if they want you to do something for them you can usually phrase it "[Do you want/Would you like] me to . . .?";
if you are offering to do a favor for someone, you can usually say "I can . . . if you [like/want/would like]", for example, "I can show you the way on my phone if you like." If you are offering a thing to someone, you can politely say "You can have my . . . if you [like/want/would like]", for example "You can have my seat if you want"; however, if the person is a stranger, they will often refuse due to politeness, so then it can be better to directly tell them, for example "You can have my seat."
If you are politely requesting someone to do something for you, then you can say "Could you please . . . for me?", for example "Could you please tell me how to get to Beimen station?"
If you are treating someone (for example, if you have invited someone to your home) and want to let them know that they don't need to be so polite, you can say "Please . . ."; for example "Please come in!", "Please have a seat anywhere you like!".
If you are in a senior position compared to another person, and want to ask them to do something, you can say "Please . . .", for example, a teacher telling a student "Please have a seat" or "Please stop talking"; if you want to politely say this to a stranger, you would instead say "Could you please have a seat?" and "Could you please stop talking?"
