"Could you" vs "Can you" Difference.
Post Body
Hey folks! I was wondering if someone could explain the difference between "Can you" and "Could you" when you are making a request to someone?
Egs: "Could you pass the salt, please?" vs "Can you pass the salt, please?"
Are they both exactly the same, or is there a subtle difference? Or perhaps it's a regional difference?
Thanks!
