Note: Could is more polite than Can, Would more than Will, and May more than
Can.
Remember!
When you ask a permission, we used generally the word please, because it
sounds more polite.
It is not necessary to use grammatically please, but it can sound rude if we dont
use it. Please can be placed in different parts of the sentence, at the beginning,
at the end, or before the verb:
Please, Can I borrow your pen?
Can I please borrow your pen?
Can I borrow your pen, please?
One important way to show politeness is the voice tone and intonation, even if you
use the word Please, it may sound rude if your pronunciation is not the correct
one.
