Hello Greatson, In English language "could be" is used in the following cases: - as an auxiliary function in the past. "We thought we could be present at that time". - in the past conditional: "We would meet ,if you could be there at 15:00 pm exactly" - as an alternative to "can" suggesting a polite form in the present. "If you could be ready soon, we would be pleased."

Bonjour Greatson, C'est la même chose en français, cela représente une possibilité ou une éventualité... C'est le conditionnel présent : ex : Il va pleuvoir = il se pourrait qu'il pleuve. C'est une possibilité ou une éventualité. Ce n'est pas certain.
