Could 的用法
1.Could 是can 的过去式,它有以下用法:
(1)could 作为can 的过去式,可表示过去具备的能力。如:
She couldn’t dress herself until five .
Could you swim when you were eight?
Could 和was /were able to 都可表示过去的能力。但如果表示过去具体的行为能力,不用could,而用was /were able to 表示。如:
Luckily, everyone was able to escape from the fire .
(2)表示礼貌客气的请求、恳请对方做某事,常用句型could you (please)……?表示请求希望对方允许自己做某事时,用Could I ……? 时态上还属于现在时。如:
Could you please pass me the book on the desk?
Could I have a look at your photo?
2. 对could 引导的一般疑问句的回答:
(1)当could 表示能力时,肯定、否定回答仍用could/couldn’t 如:
-----Could you ride a bike when you were ten?
-----Yes, I could. /No , I couldn’t.
(2)could表示礼貌请求时,其肯定回答和否定回答不用could ,习惯上肯定回答用may,can等;否定回答用can’t或mustn’t(语气重);有时也可避而不用。如:can的过去式
