Hi,

Hi teachers or anyone else who might want to help.

"If I ask you nicely then maybe you could leave, because to be honest I can't stand looking at you right now after what you did to me."

1. Is this fine?

2. What would it change in meaning if I wrote "would" instead of "could" in the sentence?

"Could" is a lot more polite in this sentence than "would."

I would delete "then" and put a comma after "nicely."
