Can/Could for Ability
We use can to talk about present ability.
We use could to talk about ability in the past.
(can表示现在的能力,could表示过去的能力)
Example:
He can speak good English.
When she was five, she could dance just a little.
We write cannot as one word.
We can also use be able to to talk about ability.
Can, Could, May for Permission
We use can, could or may to ask for permission. Could sounds more polite than can. May is formal.
(can/could/may表示许可,could表示的语气比can更有礼貌, may较正式。)
Example:
May I come in 我可以进来吗?
Could I put my coat here 我能把外套放在这儿吗?
Can I borrow your book 我能借你的自行车吗?
--Son: _________ I have a rest to watch TV, mom
--Mom: Yes, __________.
No, ___________./I'm afraid___________.
you can’t
you can
you can’t
Could
Here can is for permission
not for present abilities.
So you can’t use “could”.
