  Requests

  Requests in English are usually made in the form of general questions with the help of the modal verbs MAY, CAN, COULD, WILL, WOULD. Requests are pronounced with rising intonation at the end of the question. Adding "please" to a request makes it more polite. As a rule, polite requests are not asked in the form of negative questions.

  The modal verbs MAY, COULD, WILL, WOULD are used in making polite requests in speech and writing, in communication with strangers and with people you know. CAN in requests is considered to be less polite than the other modals in this group. CAN is generally used in informal requests, mostly in conversation with friends and family. Note the use of the pronouns "I, you". In requests, MAY is used in the form "May I"; WILL and WOULD are used in the forms "Will you" and "Would you"; COULD and CAN are used in both variants.

  Requesting permission

  Asking for permission to do something is also a request. Permission is asked in the form of affirmative questions with the help of MAY, COULD, CAN. MAY asks for formal permission, COULD is less formal, and CAN asks informal permission. MAY and COULD are more polite than CAN. Permission is given with the help of typical responses to requests mentioned above or with the help of MAY (formal permission) and CAN (informal permission). If permission is not given, "can't" is generally used. "May not" is used in formal situations.
