特别提醒:
表示提出请求或请求许可(即请求别人允许自己做某事)时,
could和can都可以用,但could语气更委婉。
e.g. Could/Can I come in? 我可以进来吗?
但回应许可时,只能用can, 而不用could(此时的could只表示委婉语气,不表示过去式,故用can回答。当表示过去的能力时,才可用could回答)。
e.g. —Could I use your pen? 我可以用你的钢笔吗?
—Of course you can. 当然可以。(此处不能用could)
练习:—Simon, could you go to Huating Lake with me tomorrow?
—Sorry, I ________. I have to take care of my sick brother at home.
A. won’t B. mustn’t C. can’t D. couldn’t
C
表示现在的能力用can, 表示过去的能力用could。此时could是can的过去式。
e.g. My sister can swim. 我妹妹会游泳。
He couldn't answer the question at that time.
他当时不能回答那个问题。
练习:— ______ I take my cousin Shirley with us, Mr. Wu?
— Yes, but we’ll get there by bike. ______ she ride a bike?
