Hi teachers,

1) Can you please cut off a guava for me? Correct and used in spoken English?

Many thanks in advance.

What are you talking about? Removing a guava from a guava tree? If so: 'Can you please pick a guava for me?'

Mister Micawber,
Can I not say :
'Can you please pluck (up) a guava for me?'
Please comment

No: 'pluck' is for flower petals and chickens.
