MODAL VERBS ARE USED IN ENGLISH TO MAKE POLITE
REQUESTS.
Can & Could
Can and Could are modal verbs used with other verbs to make
requests.
Can/Could + Subject + Verb
Can you help me?
Could you open the door?
Can is used to make a basic request.
Can you pass me the salt?

Could is more polite than can, but has the same function.

making an imperative command.
