Thanks Clive.
I wonder then why people call this sentence "I couldn't get what you mean by this" is a wrong one? Here also it has the effect of present tense. I mean what I couldn't get before, is still I can't understand at that time of speaking this sentence.

'I couldn't get . . . ' refers to the past.

To refer to the present, say 'I can't get . .
