在表示请求帮助或请求允许的疑问句中，我们常用could代替can， 以表示礼貌、委婉或不确定的语气，而can 则不具有这些语气。这样用时，不能把could 看作为can 的过去式。
1. could表示请求，语气委婉，显得有礼貌
Could you please clean your room
你可以打扫你的房间吗？
肯定回答：Yes, I can. 是的，我可以。
Yes, sure. / Yes, of course.
否定回答： Sorry, I can’t. I have to do my homework.
对不起，我得做作业。
2. could表示请求许可，希望得到允许。
Could I go to the movies
我能去看电影吗？
肯定回答：Yes, you can.
Yes, sure. 当然可以。
否定回答：No, you can’t. 不，不行。
3. could与can的区别
could与can都是情态动词，could是can的过去式。二者都可用于表示请求，但是用法稍有不同。
can表示一般性的请求，语气随便，常用于熟人之间或长辈对晚辈、上级对下级的场合；
Can you tell us your story, Tony
你能给我们讲讲你的故事吗，Tony？
could表示有礼貌的请求，语气委婉，常用于非熟人之间或晚辈对长辈、下级对上级的场合。
