Email from Alberto Diaz Hello Craig and also Reza "The dynamic duo" hahaha Please help me, I have a doubt How we can realize what "time" has the verb could in the next sentence? (How can we know which tense the verb ‘could’ is in the next sentence?): “I could go to the party.” Past: Pude/Podía ir a la fiesta Subjuntivo: Podría ir a la fiesta. How (does) a native speaker figure out the exact tense (past or subjunctive)? Thanks in advance I could go to the party - It’s a possibility - Conditional - If I had a car, I could go to the party (but I don’t have a car, so I can’t) Past ability - I could go to the (firm’s Christmas) party before I became an alcoholic (I was able to) If I could (PAST-pudiera) run faster, maybe I could (CONDITIONAL-podría) be a famous athlete some day.
