Can and Could

A. Can
The word ‘can’, in its most common form, means to be able
to do something. In most cases, it can be replaced with a
form of ‘be able to’.
I can sing.”
The above sentence means that the person has the ability to
sing, not necessarily that they are singing at the moment.
It is also used to ask permission in informal situations.
“Can I have some more cookies?”
 2. Can and Could

B. Could
The word ‘could’ means the same as the auxiliary form of the word
‘can’: the ability to do something. However, it is the past tense form of
the word.
I could sing, but I have since lost my voice.”
Aside from that, it serves as a few different forms as a conditional word,
also known as a modal verb. This means that it is a form of a word used
when there is a condition involved, meaning that it is used when whether
it can happen depends on something else happening .
The Difference Between Can & Could

Can is the present tense version of the word and ‘could’ is the
past tense version of the word. ‘Could’ is also used when a
condition must be fulfilled in order for the thing to happen.
‘Can’ is used when there is nothing that would stop the thing
from happening. When asking someone to do something,
either word can be used, but ‘could’ is considered to be more
polite.
