How do you use the word 'could' in spanish?
For example if I wanted to say 'you could say...' Or 'you could do this...' And also how is this changed into 'could not'? Thank you! Gracías! :)

Hey Rebecca,
Spanish conjugates verbs for every person, so this is the conjugation of "poder" (can) in conditional mood in Spanish:
Yo podría
Tú podrías
Él podría
Nosotros podríamos
Ustedes podrían (used in America and the Canary Islands)
Vosotros podríais (used in Europe)
Ellos podrían
Some examples are:
Yo podría ayudarte mañana = I could help you tomorrow.
¿Podrías venir hoy? = Could you come today?
Ella podría responder a esa pregunta = She could answer to that question.
Nosotros no podríamos hacer eso antes del viernes = we could not do that before Friday.
Ustedes podrían llamarla = you could call her.
Vosotros podríais llamarla = you could call her.
Ellos no podrían hacer nada = they could not do anything.
I hope this helps you.

In Spanish if you want say: " you could say...". You should say: "Tu podrías decir.../ Podrías decir..." and if you want say " you couldn't say..." would be something like: " tu no podrias decir.../ no podrias decir...".For a question, " could you help me?" would be something like:"¿Podrías ayudarme?".Some examples:
I could do my homework= yo podría hacer mi tarea
you could play soccer= Tu podrías jugar fútbol
Could you help me with English please? = ¿Podrias ayudarme con el ingles por favor?/¿Me podrias ayudar con el ingles por favor?
In Spanish you can also, do a question with in negative form. For example: " ¿No podrias ayudarme con mi tarea?"I'm not sure, but i think that this isn't common in English.
