DO YOU MIND IF I........?

Hi friends!
Yesterday we saw how to use 'do you mind + noun' in English, as in 'Do you mind the smell of tobacco?' (Do you dislike the smell....?)

Now, let us see how to make sentences with 'Do you mind + if......' . In this construction too, the meaning of the sentence remain the same as in 'do you mind + noun'.

Examples:
Do you mind if I leave a bit earlier today? (Do you dislike if I leave.......?)

More examples:
Do you mind if I sit here for a while?
Do you mind if I ask you your age?
Do you mind if I tell you the truth?
Do you mind if my child plays with your puppy?
Do you mind if she doesn't respect you?

I don't mind if you sit here for a while. (I won't dislike if you.....)
I don't mind if you come with me.
He doesn't mind if you call him names.
They never mind if you neglect them.
We don't mind if our kids make too much noice.
