How to use CAN, COULD and MAY to ask for permission

Those lessons are made really well, no room for uncertainty or questions after a video,
the explanations are easy to understand yet they are all that needs to be said,
also the style in which the video is made is peaceful and not distracting

I love how you explained the rules and mentioned things like traditional and modern English!
Because sometimes I got confused!
Book says things and in
videos say things else!
Thanks a lot!
