Can I? Could I? May I?

Could you review question number 4 in the quiz?
Because I think that the answers don’t match the question.

Fatima Naser

Thanks for being our eyes and ears, Fatima! The mistake has been corrected. All the best to you.

Rebecca

Thanks a lot Rebecca. It’s my first time to comment and also to understand clearly this lesson.????????

Fatima8729

I wasn’t realised that the number 10 should be “could” instead I chose the “may” and its sound was more polite to heed than the second one which is a casual semi-formal “Could”

Dalton alim

Hi Rebecca,
Could I ask you for correct question nr 4? There is a mistake should be “we” but is “you” I am correct?

Grzegorz Bak

Thank you so much for alerting us to that. The quiz has been corrected. I wish you all the best, Grzegorz Bak. Take care!

Rebecca

Thanku so much mam this lesson really helps me When to use these words ….

Sak123

wsantos23

Which is the corret way to ask my teacher permission to go to the bathroom, I should use “Can I go to the bathroom” or “Could I go to the bathroom”, because once i asked my teacher “Can I go to the bathroom” and he aswered me “I don’t know can you?” and he explained me that using “can” it’s like I was question myself if I’m capable of do something.Is it right?

JIsmar

Yes, he is right. Asking someone with the words “can I” where you know you can do it sounds silly. My teacher once told me this that it is not correct to use can for permission. “May” is the preferable one to use..

Hassan Konneh

Yes, “could” or “may” is better in this situation.
Some teachers want students to use “can” for ability, and not for permission. In real life, you will hear people using all three, depending on how formal the situation is, as I have explained in the lesson. Take care, and all the best, Jismar.

Rebecca

Thank you teacher

guaniga

nice teaching skills to use of can / could & may in general day to day use.

But it implies that it’s to enter a person’s name who requires something. Isn’t it? e.g. “Required by” – Roger?? please clarify and what would be the correct word(s) to label this box? Thank you.

Hi Rebecca,
Thank you for the lesson. I’d like to ask a question. In some videos I watched, teachers recommend to use “can you please” instead of “could you” to ask someone to do something politely. Since they said ”could” is more used with us asking permission from others, There is no necessary to use COULD if we let someone to do something. Is it correct?
