PresuppositionEx2-1

The utterance "Would you mind washing up the dishes this time?" has the following presuppostions:

1. There are dishes that need to be washed up.
2. They were dishes that need to be washed up before.
3. Someone didn't wash up the dishes the last time they needed to be washed up.
4. Someone else did wash up the dishes the last time they needed to be washed up.

As you can see one sentence can have far more than just one presupposition!!!
