El verbo can es un verbo modal que usamos para hablar de que algo y alguien tiene la
habilidad para hacer algo, por ejemplo:

 He can run very fast.

Pero también lo usamos para pedir o dar permiso, por ejemplo:

 Can I ask you a favor?

¿Puedo pedirte un favor?
 You can eat grapes if you want.
Si lo deseas, puedes comer uvas.

Por otro lado, usamos could para expresar que algo es posible o la probabilidad de que
algo suceda.

 It could be nice.
Podría ser agradable.
 You could travel.
