| May 21, 2018 at 12:31 | comment | added | Lambie | Yes, in a situation like that, you can say: It could be in the racks, it might be in the racks, it can be in the racks. That is the same across all varieties of English. If the question is: Where the heck can or could it be? The answer is: It can be or it could or even might be in the racks. Can is fine. I am a native speaker and might very well say; can in response to can, but I also might say could in response to can. | |
