abdo24kingdo we use it in the past to exprime future ??I think you're asking, "Can we use would, could, or might with a past tense to express the future?" In that case the answer is "Yes, you can use them like that".
Yesterday Jake said that he [would / could / might] talk to us tomorrow.

Hi
The tense quaintly termed future in the past is sometimes used to describe the shift from past to future in the same sentence:
Daniel told (past) Natalie that she would get (future in the past) the job.
What Daniel actually said was, 'You will get the job', a statement in the future tense made in the past.
Best Wishes
