Lesson23 A new house 新居

I had a letter from my sister yesterday. She lives in Nigeria. In her letter, she said that she would come to England next year. If she comes, she will get a surprise. We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country. Work on it had begun before my sister left. The house was completed five months ago. In my letter, I told her that she could stay with us. The house has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden. It is a very modern house, so it looks strange to some people. It must be the only modern house in the district.

问题：请分析In my letter, I told her that she could stay with us.（还有为何用could）
请详细分析（不是翻译），从时态，结构，that，could分析

意思就是在我的回信中，我告诉她可以与我们住在一起，因为前面提到现在住到了一个新房子里，could表示可能，可以的意思，用过去时为了与前面的时态保持一致

tell后面是可以跟复合宾语的，that引导的是宾语从句。could没有特别的意思，只是在时态上与前面told一致而已。

根据上文，这句话是包含宾语从句的复合句，其中因为主句用过去时所以从句中应使用过去系列的时态，所以使用了“could”.

could
