Could 的用法
1.could为can 的过去式,表示过去的能力。可以与 be able to 转换。对过去能力的回答只能用could/couldn’t.
-- ______(can) you play the piano when you were at the age of 4?
--No, I ______________
Could
couldn’t
2. Could you please +动词原形+其它?
一种表示请求或征询对方意见的客气委婉的说法,could 在此句型里表示请求,而不是can的过去式,could 比 can 的语气更加委婉、客气,让人易于接受.因此平日里人们更多使用could,而不用can. 否定句直接在please后加not
eg. ________________ take out the rubbish?
请你倒一下垃圾好吗?
______________________ tell him about it?
请你不要给他讲好吗?
Could you please
Could you please not
3. Could 也可表示请求许可。
Eg: Could I come in?
表示请求对方许可,准许时,对方回答时不能用could, 而要用can.
Could I use your bike?
Yes, of course you ______.
can
could 的肯定回答:
Sure/Certainly/Of course/
With pleasure/No problem.
Yes, you can.
否定回答:
No, I am afraid not. / No, you
can’t. / Certainly not.
