One more question: Let's consider the example sentences in the OP once again, please:
1) I can imagine a few situations where these words could be used. (= I am able to imagine...)
2) I can imagine going to Canada. (= I am able to imagine...)
In reported speech, these would become:
a) He said he could imagine a few situations where those words could be used.
b) He said he could imagine going to Canada.
Am I right? If so, Can I replace the "could"s with "was able to"?
a) He said he was able to imagine a few situations where those words could be used.
b) He said he was able to imagine going to Canada.
