Can you vs Can you please?

Can you vs Can you please?

We also use ‘could’ to ask permission; it is more polite or formal than ‘can’. Changing the word order to “could you please” is no more or less polite – it’s a matter of style. whether requests starting with “Please can/could you…” render the same degree of politeness as those that start with “Could you please…”.

Can you please is a question?

Senior Member. “Can” and “could” are both equally polite – the key word is “please”, which is present in both sentences. The sentence beginning with “please can…” is a question, and it should have a question mark. It is a mistake/omission by the writer.

Would you or will you?
