What will it be?” is generally used when there are only a couple of possible answers, Eg./ if someone asked you a ‘yes or no question’ and then said “what will it be”, they are asking what will your answer be. ” What could it be?” is a little more flexible, usually used for something unexpected.
What else can be or could be?
To summarize, ‘can’ is the present tense version of the word and ‘could’ is the past tense version of the word. ‘Could’ is also used when a condition must be fulfilled in order for the thing to happen. When asking someone to do something, either word can be used, but ‘could’ is considered to be more polite.
What is the different between could and would?
Could is used to say that an action or event is possible. Would is used to talk about a possible or imagined situation, and is often used when that possible situation is not going to happen.
Could meaning and use?
It is used with the base form of a verb. Could is sometimes considered to be the past form of can1, but in this dictionary the two words are dealt with separately.
