否定回答:No,主語+couldn’t—Couldyouplaythepianobeforeyouwenttoschool?

—你上學之前會彈鋼琴嗎？—Yes,Icould.—會的。否定句:主語+could+not+動詞原形+其他Hecouldn’tswimlastyear.去年他還不會游泳。提示:couldnot可以縮寫成couldn’t。注意:

could還可以表示禮貌的請求幫助或請求允許,此時could不是can的過去式,而是表示更加禮貌委婉的請求,在回答允許時,一般不用could而用can?！狢ouldIaskyouaquestion?我可以問你一個問題嗎？—Yes,ofcourseyoucan.當然能。WorkitoutcouldCouldcouldn’t1.He_______playthekeyboardwhenhewassix.2.Hecouldn’tplaythepiano.3._______heplaytheviolin?Yes,hecould.4.—Couldheplaytheguitar?—No,he_________.playedthecomputergames,fourHecouldplay
