"Could you..." is a phrase commonly used to make polite requests or ask someone to do something. It is
a more polite and formal way of asking for assistance or help compared to using more direct phrases like
"Can you..." or "Will you...".

When using "Could you..." to make a polite request, you typically follow it with the base form of a verb.
For example:

- "Could you please pass me the salt?"

- "Could you help me with this assignment?"

- "Could you turn down the volume, please?"

The use of "Could you..." acknowledges that the person has the choice to fulfill your request or not, and
it shows respect and consideration for their time and willingness to help. It is important to remember to
use polite language when making requests to maintain a respectful and courteous tone in your
communication.

- Explanation: We use "Could you + base form of the verb" to make polite requests.

- Examples: "Could you pass me the salt?" is a polite way to ask someone to pass the salt. "Could you
help me with this exercise, please?" is a polite request for assistance.
