Re:Re:new here- in reply to Ahmad
If you think of "could" only as being the past tense of "can", you will get confused by the many ways it is used in English. It can be used in the past, the present and the future, to softer something said, to show ability, possibility, make polite requests and much more. Here are a few example:
Often we use it to be polite when requesting something:
"Could you please pass me the bread."
Sometimes we use it to emphasie something that is annoying us:
"Could you PLEASE STOP MAKING SO MUCH NOISE!" (This is not so much a question as a demand.)
We use "could" when talking about things we often/habitually did in the past:
When I lived near Adelaide I could visit the museum and art gallery whenever I wanted. Now that I live on Kangaroo Island, I can only do that when I visit the city.
"Could" can be used in the same way as 'might' to say that something in the future is possible, but not certain:
It could rain later this afternoon.
"Could" can be used to show ability:
We could go swimming this afternoon if you'd like.
Only yesterday I was working on "could", "would" and "should" with one of my English Language Farmstay students. She had been having a lot of difficulty because she had thought they were only used in the past tense. I hope my short notes I used for her are helpful for you too.

Does anybody love the Russian language as much as I love English? :)
Hi there!
I'm from Russia and really infatuated with the English language. I want to speak it fluently or at least as good as possible for a foreigner. I'd appreciate any help from native English speakers. If you learn Russian, I could be a good help for you as well.
