USE 1 :
when you use it in the past, it means that you are very sure about something, take this example;
قَدْ شَرِبَ ماءً
He definitely drank water.
USE 2:
when you use it in the present ( present tense and future tense are the same in Arabic ), it means that you are not sure about something, here is the example:
قَدْ يَشْرَبُ ماءً
perhaps, he will drink water.

Hello Tom,
It could mean also " It is possible, maybe, might be"
قد أستطيع تعلم اللغة العربية
" I might be able to learn the Arabic language."

تستعمل قد في الماضي و تكون تحقيقية مثل قد رأيتك أمس
كما تستعمل للمضارع و المستقبل و في هذه الحال تكون تشكيكية مثل قد تستطيع الكذب على كل الناس بعض الوقت

"قد" could be used to tell that the action is already done, it's like the past perfect
