7You cannot say that could is the “future tense” of can, it is misinformation.– Mari-Lou ACommented Nov 29, 2018 at 20:32

3'could' is the simple past of 'can'. In your example it is used to form the conditional.– chasly - supports MonicaCommented Nov 29, 2018 at 20:50

3I raised "Not an answer" flag because a wrong answer is not an answer.– NobodyCommented Nov 30, 2018 at 8:19

3@scaaahu A wrong answer is an answer and flags are not an appropriate response to seeing one. All raising a flag accomplishes is wasting a moderator's time looking at a post that has already been sunk by downvotes (which, along with comments, are the appropriate response to an answer with incorrect information).– jmbpianoCommented Nov 30, 2018 at 17:47

5@scaaahu Please do not flag wrong answers for moderator attention. Instead, downvote posts which are not useful, upvote posts which are useful, and optionally use comments to explain your actions.– MetaEdCommented Nov 30, 2018 at 18:38

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- Review existing tags and read their descriptions to learn when they should be used.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. single-word-requests), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
