can 和 could

聽講 could 和 can 意思一樣 , 但在文法上could比較有禮貌

但 could 係 can 既過去式

咁如果我想在現在式用 "可以" 黎問問題 , 又想有禮貌

咁可不可以用 could , 不用 can

If you use 'could' for asking someone to do something, it is understood that it is in present tense although 'could' is the past tense form of 'can'.

其實我想講could冇話有冇禮貌
could就係can既過去式
你話用現在式用 "可以" 黎問問題,就要用can.
could同can冇話邊個有冇禮貌
