Thank you so much. I appreciate it a lot and yes v4 means present participles. I want you to make PAST SENTENCE with could+be+v4 if it's a possible sentence; the sentence you showed was with a future meaning right?

tenjingHe can be watching a movie at home
This one is not used, or if it is, it is very rare.
tenjingHe could be watching a movie at home ... He may be watching a movie at home
These have the same meaning, namely, It is possible that he is watching a movie at home.
