Explicação: can é usado para falar de abilidade no presente e could pra falar de abilidade no passado, por isso quase sempre virá acompanhado de uma expressão de tempo ( when he was young, por exemplo) para poder identificar, o tempo verbal. Ambos can e could são usados como auxiliares portanto, nas perguntas eles vem antes do sujeito. ( can I?) na afirmação segue a regra sujeito + verbo ( I can)
