Question

Write five sentences about the role of education in successful financial planning, in which you correctly use a different verb tense in each sentence.

Mark each verb used in bold and, in parentheses, identify the specific tense used.
An education "could" help you get a job in a chosen field. (Past)
is this correct?

Answer 1

No, "could" is an auxiliary verb. The whole verb in that sentence is "could help" -- try again.

Answer 2

Yes, your sentence is correct. In the sentence, you used the verb "could" in the past tense, which implies a possibility or potentiality that existed in the past. This suggests that education in the past had the potential to help someone secure a job in their chosen field. Well done!
