How do you make a question with a can?
However, there are two important points that need to be considered: The English verb ‘can’ can only be used as an auxiliary verb and not as a main verb, which means that an additional verb always has to be employed in an interrogative sentence (question): “Can I have a coffee?” “Can I see your passport, please?”

Can, like could and would, is used to ask a polite question, but can is only used to ask permission to do or say something (“Can I borrow your car?” “Can I get you something to drink?”). Could is the past tense of can, but it also has uses apart from that–and that is where the confusion lies.
