    Thank you so much for your lessons from Vietnam 🇻🇳. I usually rewrite the lesson I have learned like this. Today I will learn three out of many ways to use the modal verb Could. 😊we use the word Could to make a suggestion or proposal. For example, A: I am tired 🥱. B: I COULD cook dinner. That is the polite way to make a suggestion. Another example, A: I don’t understand these reports. B: I COULD explain them if you want.😊 we use Could to express ability in the past. For example, when I was a student, I COULD study for ten hours a day. 😊 When we use indirect speech, we use COULD after past reporting verbs where “can” is used in direct speech. For example, Direct speech: My friend said “I can give you my house” 🏡. Indirect speech: My friend said that he COULD give me his house. 😛. That’s my lesson today. Could you please explain to me more about that? Or, if you have a little time, could you please give just one example of that? I really appreciate your help. Today is Thursday, 8 September 2022, in our country Vietnam 🇻🇳. You will have an excellent time today 💰

    Thank you so much for your lessons from Vietnam 🇻🇳. I rewrote your lessons, that is the way I learn English. Today I will learn one of the many uses of the modal verb: Could. We use the modal verb could express possibility in the present, future and past. 😊 In the present. A: what is over there? B: It’s an aeroplane ✈️ (We use this answer when we are sure about that) B: It could be an aeroplane ✈️(We use this answer when we are not certain about that)😊In the future. A: Take an umbrella ☔️, it’s going to rain tonight( we use this answer when we are sure about something). A: Take an umbrella ☂, It could rain tonight ( we use this answer when we are not certain). That’s my lesson today. Could you please give me some examples of that? Thank you so much for your help. Today is Tuesday, 6 September 2022, in our country Vietnam 🇻🇳. I hope you will have a good day. ✈️☔️☂️

    I was studying today's newspaper and this appeared:
    How did the metals get there? Metals are used in practically every product we use. Even detergents and shampoos have traces of them. Nanoparticles are used to limit body odour in socks, for instance. A lot of this is absorbed by the body and discarded as waste, which enters the sewage system and treatment plants.
    So I could have been a millionaire by now? Since the idea isn’t to sift through individual toilet refuse, no, you would still probably be where you are now. To actually mine the sewage, wastewater is treated through physical, biological, and chemical processes, resulting in treated water and biosolids. The biosolids, says US researchers, may be as good as a gold mine.
    Is the usage of could have been correct? If yes, then how does it differ from I could be a millionaire by now?
    Please explain this to me.

      Hello, thanks for your message. Don't be sad! You know, when I was younger, I wanted to be a pilot but it wasn't possible and I was very disappointed. But life is an adventure and full of surprises and now I am very happy to be a teacher with many other projects for the future. The most important thing in life is to have goals and to work hard towards achieving them.

Instead of this is how we would say it? Pls reply Sir i'm so confuse of modal verbs would and could.

    Sir,
    If conditions 1 examples
    1)If you don't study ,you could fail in the exam.
    2)if you don't listen to him,you could face his wrath.
    3)if you don't come soon,you could miss the bus.
    In the if conditional 1 can we use (could usage)?
    If conditions 2 examples
    1)when I was young, i could swim.
    2)He could go to the concert if you gave him your ticket.
    3)I could play guitar when I was child.
    This what I studied before but now I have a doubt.
    Are these correct can we use if conditional 1 (could usage)
    Could you please tell me, can we use first condition usage of could ?

    First meaning: What were you thinking? You *could have hurt* yourself! (He didn't hurt himself)
