@Max-2 let’s say a can of chicken soup cost $2.50 and a can of tomato soup cost $1.50. The chicken soup is cheap but the tomato soup is cheaper.

@Max-2 yeah pretty much. For example “I have a dog to but mine is much smaller.” “I have been standing in line for 2 hours I don’t think I can stand much longer. “

@Max-2 if you’re talking about more than one thing its plural so you would use the first sentence you wrote “These items are damaged.” If it’s singular which means only one you say “This item is damaged.”

@Max-2 yeah it’s basically the same thing and you could use either one. But there is a slight difference.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. But I would suppose that “would” is more polite, because it expresses the idea of probability, and of willingness, and of the desire that something be done, whereas “could” is more in the realm of ability (yes I can)
