    .
    'Can' is used for ability: I can tapdance.
    'Can' is used for friendly offers and requests: Can I help you? Can you close the door, please?

    'Could' is used as a past form of can: I could tapdance when I was young.
    'Could' is used for more formal offers and requests: Could I help you? Could you close the door, please?
