Domande Inglese (Stati Uniti)

Please explain these easily and give me some examples in a conversation English. What's the difference between would, could, should in the possbility.

I know that can't be, must be.
But would, could, should that makes me crazy, really confused. I hope you know what I mean.

Would: *second or third person*
past of will. It can be used for expressing many things such as advice, politeness, a desire, etc.

Could: past of can. Used to indicate possibility, politeness, or a strong inclination to do something.

Should: *third person pronouns*
used to indicate obligation, correctness, advice, describing feelings (with the clause "that"), etc.

EXAMPLE SENTANCES:

The windows would not close.
"Would you pour the wine please?"
I would have to agree.

He should have been careful.
"You should go back to bed."
It is astonishing that we should find violence here.('that' is used with 'should')

I would go if I could afford it.
"Could I use the phone?"
"They could have told me!"

Esther:
The question which you are asking here is extremely complex and I don't think that this is the right place to ask it. I highly recommend that you take a look at this website:
https://butte.edu/departments/cas/tipsheets/gra...

That website is pretty good, but to get a proper explanation I would suggest either finding a textbook on the topic or asking a proper teacher.

Good luck!

akemi17:
What do you mean by,"*second or third person*"?
Your example sentences are perfectly fine, but I think your explanations are quite misleading.
I don't think this is the right place to ask such a question as it is way too complex.
Of course, if you are willing to provide a proper explanation (there are whole books on this topic, mind you), then it's completely fine.
If not, please do not provide a half-baked answer that will potentially confuse others.

Oh I'm sorry! I didn't mean to confuse you! I was trying to explain it somehow-it is confusing...sorry if I made it worse. (´･_･`)
