'Someone' is more specific. When we use 'someone' in a question, we are subtly implying that we are sure there is a person responding to our question. But 'anyone' is more general. It means we are asking a question without particularly expecting an answer.
Can someone please Or could someone please?
Originally Answered: "Can you please" or "Could you please" -- which is correct? "Could" is the polite form of "can"—so both are correct, but we use them in different situations. We use "can" when we are telling someone to do something. We use "could" when we are making a request.
Can you or could you polite?
could is more formal and polite than can: Could I ask a question please? Could we go home now?
Can I could I may?
For example, “Could I please have some water?” Could is the past tense of can. However, when asking for permission, could does not have a past tense meaning. Could has the same meaning as may when making requests. It is equally polite to say “Could I leave early?” or “May I leave early?”

Could I vs Can I vs May I?
Discussing a Possibility: “Can” suggests a strong possibility or a general truth. “May” and “could” suggest we are less certain about something. Asking for Permission: You can use all three words to ask for permission. To be formal, though, you should use “may” instead of “could” or “can.”

Can someone help me or can anyone help me?
Somebody/-one suggests a positive outcome; anybody/-one suggests a negative outcome. Let me explain. When you say, “Can someone/-body help me?”, you are expecting that someone WILL help. With “Can anyone help me?”you are NOT expecting anyone to help - you are almost sure no one is going to.
Is could correct grammar?
You should never use could of. It is a mistake by careless writers that results from a misunderstanding of spoken English. Since could have is a verb phrase, and of is preposition, you will always know to use could have as long as you can remember the parts of speech of have and of.
When should I use could?
Could, would, and should are all used to talk about possible events or situations, but each one tells us something different. Could is used to say that an action or event is possible. Would is used to talk about a possible or imagined situation, and is often used when that possible situation is not going to happen.
What is the difference between can and could with examples?
The simple past tense form of can is could. Could is also used in the context of ability, possibility, or permission. In the case of possibility, the present perfect tense is typically used. In the case of permission, could is typically only used when asking permission, not giving it.
