"CAN" AND "MAY"
"May" asks permission:
May I see your driver's license? = I am asking permission to see your driver's license.
May I see some personal identification? = I am asking permission to see your personal identification.
"Can" asks if someone is able:
Can you tell me where the store is? = I am asking if you are able to tell me where the store is.
Can you tell me where to find groceries? = I am asking if you are able to tell me where to find groceries.
Example:
Do you have a phone? May I call you? Can I reach you by phone?
