check it out

Ability adalah kemampuan atau kata yang menyatakan kemampuan, ability sendiri terbagi atas dua kata

1. Can = menyatakan kemampuan dalam bentuk present

              Can - Can't,

Affirmative - Subject + Can + invinitive (without to)

         Exp. " Paul can make good paella (makanan khas spanish) "

Negative - Subject + Can not/Can't + invinitive (without to)

         Exp. " Paul can't speak spanish very well "

Qustion - Can + Subject + invinitive (without to)

         Exp. " Can paul drive? yes, he can

2. Could = menyatakan kemampuan dalam bentuk lampau/past, you use could/couldn't to describe something you knew to do it in the past

              Could - Couldn't,

Affirmative - Subject + Could + invinitive (without to)

         Exp. " Paul could drive a taxy "

Negative - Subject + Could not/Couldn't + invinitive (without to)

         Exp. " Paul couldn't speak spanish very well "

Qustion - Could + Subject + invinitive (without to)

         Exp. " Could paul speak spanish? yes, he could

Note : Setiap ability could sudah pasti ada keterangan waktu lampaunya misal : yesterday, since, kalimat sebelumnya dengan menggunakan katakerja bentuk lampau, "paul could run, since he was 3 yearsold" begitu sih cara mudah untuk menentukan apakah suatu sentence menggunakan could atau can.

exception : Could biasanya digunakan di kondisi sekarang untuk konteks yang lebih formal, pokoknya mudah banget kok menemukan dimana could untuk konteks resmi dikondisi sekarang dan could ability di past tense

misal : could you please tell me this way.
