7

We use “could” to talk about ability in the past.

e.g. Millie can speak good English.

Shirley cannot ride a horse.

The old man could swim across the Yangtze River. We use can, could or may to ask for permission. Could sounds more polite than can. May is formal. e.g. — Can I borrow your bike, Millie?

— Yes, you can. Here you are.

— Could I smoke here?

—

Sorry, I’m afraid you can’t.

— May I use your mobile phone?

— Of course you may.

西蒙, 我可以借一下你的自行车吗？

— Of course. 当然可以。

— Can I have some milk, Mum?

— Yes, you can. 好的。

could是can的过去式。在口语中, could常用来代替can向对方更委婉地提出请求, 用法上比can正式, 可以用于向老师或长辈提出请求, 这时could不表示过去, 回答一般还是用can。

e.g.— Could I use your computer, please?

请问, 我可以用一下你的电脑吗？

— Yes, you can. 可以。

— Could I hand in our homework later, Mr Lin?

林老师, 我可以稍后交作业吗？

—

No, you can’t. 不, 不行。

2) may

may也可以用来征求对方意见, 意为“可以”, 相当于could, 用法也比can更正式, 更礼貌, 一般用于向陌生人或所尊敬的人请求许可。

e.g. — May I ask you a question?

我可以问你一个问题吗？

— Yes, please. 可以, 请问。
