Dalam konteks percakapan (lisan), tidak ada aturan baku yang mutlak tentang penggunaan bentuk can dan could ini. Namun dalam bahasatulis, ada beberapa hal yang bisa mendasari perbedaan penggunaan bentuk can dan could.

Sebelum masuk kedalam latihan soal, akan kita review terlebih dahulu bentuk modal verb can dan could dalam bahasa Inggris baik dalam penggunaan maupun contoh konteks kalimatnya.

Can
Bentuk modal can dipakai untuk menyatakan
1. Kesanggupan atau kemahiran seseorang
Contoh :

• I can play the guitar and my brother can play it, too.

• I will hold a party next Saturday but Lala can't come.

3. Menyatakan kemungkinan
Contoh :

• She can be at home at night.

Bentuk "Can" dalam kalimat diikuti oleh bentuk kata kerja dasar. Untuk kalimat negatif bisa ditambahkan bentuk not setelah can (cannot), atau kontraksi dari bentuk tersebut (can't). Pada kalimat tanya, can diletakkan sebelum subbyek kalimat.

Bentuk could

Bentuk could merupakan bentuk lampau dari can. Akan tetapi penerapan bentuk could dalam kalimat tidak selalu menyatakan bentuk lampau dari can, bentuk could bisa menyatakan permintaan dengan sopan. Bentuk could juga digunakan untuk menyatakan kemungkinan. Untuk lebih jelasnya, bisa dilihat contoh berikut ini,

Contoh :

• I could run very fast when she was child. (Saya bisa berlari dengan sangat cepat saat saya masih kecil)
• I felt so tired last night but I couldn't sleep. ( Saya merasa lelah tadi mala tetapi saya tidak bisa tidur)

Could untuk menyatakan permintaan tolong bisa dilihat pada contoh berikut ini,
