Author's Instructions

"Can" and "could" are modal verbs with distinct uses for ability, possibility, and permission. "Can" refers to present abilities or a strong possibility, while "could" indicates past abilities or a weaker, more uncertain possibility. "Could" is also considered more polite when making requests or asking for permission.
