I could have moved vs I could move
Can someone explain what is the difference between this sentences:
I could have moved out when I was 18
I could move out when i was 18
In fact i don't see any difference at all!
I could have moved out when I was 18
I could move out when i was 18
In fact i don't see any difference at all!
