Study the different uses of ‘could’. Identify what it indicates.
Instead of playing computer games you could play real games with friends. (past ability/suggestion)

उत्तर
suggestion
Explanation:
Here, ‘could’ is used to offer an alternative idea or a gentle piece of advice for the present moment. It proposes a different, potentially better activity (playing real games) without sounding as forceful as ‘should’ or ‘must’. It is not a past ability because the sentence is talking about a choice available right now, rather than a skill the person used to have in the past.
