1. We use “can” to talk about present ability.
We use “could” to talk about ability in the past.
e.g. I can (cannot /can’t /can not) swim. Can you?
He could (couldn’t /could not) dance in the past. Can you?
Grammar
Using “can”/ “could” to talk about ability.
Using ‘can’, ‘could’, ‘may’ and to talk about permission
1. can 与 could
can 常用于口语中，表示非正式的请求，请求对象一般是家人或朋友。
e.g.— Can I borrow your bike, Simon?
西蒙, 我可以借一下你的自行车吗？
— Of course.
当然可以。
Grammar
could是can的过去式。在口语中，could常用来代替can向对方更委婉地提出请求，用法上比can正式，这时could不表示过去，回答一般还是用can。
e.g.
— Could I use your computer, please?
请问，我可以用一下你的电脑吗？
— Yes, you can. 可以。
— Could I hand in our homework later, Mr. Li?
李老师，我可以稍后交作业吗？
— No, you can’t. 不，不行。
用could提问表示委婉，但是回答要用can或者cannot哦。
2. may
may也可以用来征求对方意见，意为“可以”。
相当于could，用法也比can更正式，更礼貌
一般用于向陌生人或所尊敬的人请求许可。
— May I ask you a question?
我可以问你一个问题吗？
— Yes, please. 可以，请问。
— May I come in, Mr. Wu?
吴老师，我可以进来吗？
— No, you may not/ you cannot. 不行。
肯定回答：yes, please/you can.
否定回答：no, you may/ can not.
1. ____ you speak German?
2. ______ you play the violin last year?
3. ____ you cook?
4. ______ you use a calculator when you were three?
