"Could", "would", and "should" are all auxiliary verbs, used to form special tenses in combination with other verbs. In modern English, this is the only idiomatic use of "could", "should" or "would", although in earlier centuries "would" was used as a synonym for "wish" or "want". Note that "could" is a past tense for which the present tense is "can", but the other two of these auxiliary verbs do not change for tense.
