Podría / Podía / Pude
Many times, I can’t get a feel for which form of the verb “poder” to use when I want to convey that "I could have" done something. Does the conjugation of the verb “poder” convey different meanings?
Allow me to start with these two examples first: I could have done it yesterday (because I had sufficient time and I was willing to do it) Podría haberlo hecho ayer Podía haberlo hecho ayer Pude haberlo hecho ayer I could have done it yesterday (I was able to do it because I finally felt well enough yesterday to do it) Podría haberlo hecho ayer Podía haberlo hecho ayer Pude haberlo hecho ayer Any and all input to help me understand which form of the verb to use is appreciated.
