Can we please vs Can we

Both 'can we please' and 'can we' are correct phrases, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'Can we please' is a polite way to make a request or ask for permission, while 'can we' is a more direct question about ability or possibility. The addition of 'please' adds politeness and softens the request.
