Using Could
Could is used in two ways in English:
1.) Past ability:
--I can speak English now. I couldn"t when I was a child.
2.) Polite questions:
--Could I borrow your car? --Could you speak slower? --Could we check out later?
Note that could is the simple past form of the verb can. The negative form of it is couldn"t (could not).
