You can always vs You coul always

The correct phrase is "you can always." The modal verb 'can' is used to express ability or possibility, while 'could' is the past tense of 'can' and is used to talk about past ability or possibility. In this case, 'can' is the appropriate choice for expressing a general ability or possibility.
