Question

Can I come in??or may I come in?? Which is correct??

Answer 1

Both the interrogative statements 'Can I come in' and 'May I come in' are correct.

• The sentences 'Can I come in' or 'May I come in' are interrogative statements which are both correct.
• However, 'May I come in' gives a more soft tone and is often when you have to be very polite to the other person.
• Both the statements are used before entering a place to the person or people who might be in the place already.
