Could and would usages
Are all three okay:
1. Would it make you feel better if I tell you that I’m sure we can meet in Tokyo next month.
2. Would it make you feel better if I told you that I’m sure we can meet in Tokyo next month.
3. Would it make you feel better if I told you that I’m sure we cold meet in Tokyo next month.
What’s the difference?

anon006 Are all three okay If you add a question mark to each of them, it would help. They're all otherwise OK, and they all mean essentially the same thing. "would" goes better with "told", however, so the first one sounds a bit off.

- Likewise, 'could' (with the 'u', by the way) goes better with 'would' and 'told', so all in all I'd have to say that the last one is the best.
