Study the different uses of ‘could’. Identify what it indicates.
Abhi could perform well in his school days. (suggestion/past ability)
Advertisements
उत्तर
past ability
Explanation:
Here, ‘could’ serves as the past tense of ‘can,’ expressing that Abhi had the talent or capacity to achieve good results during a specific time that has already ended. It is not a suggestion because the sentence states a fact about his prior capabilities rather than offering advice for a current or future situation.
