Definition on Would you?/Could you?/Will you?/ Can you

Hi teachers,
I'm working on this definition. Would you agree on that?
Would you ...? Could you ...? Will you ...? Can you ...?
In yes/no questions these modals with the subject pronoun you ask someone for help, cooperation, or assistance in the present or future.

Thanks in advance.

Tenacious Learner in yes/no questions these modals with the subject pronoun you ask someone for help, cooperation, or assistance in the present or future. They can mean that, but they can mean other things as well: Will you be at the party tomorrow? Would you like a cup of tea?

Hi fivejedjon,
Thanks for your reply. Then I had better add 'can' in the explanation.
