Neuf vs. nouveau

I understand that in the expression "brand new" you use neuf rather than nouveau, but otherwise when would you use neuf rather than nouveau - or are they equivalent?

Translation of 'could'Another problem area! 'Je pouvais' or 'Je pourrais' ? I often get this wrong ! The sentence is as follows: "Then, my wife asked me if I could give her the movie time schedule." I believe that I have seen 'could' translated by both the imperfect and the condional tenses. How do I determine which is appropriate?

accommoder/accomoder

Is “accomoderont” missing an “m”? WordReference Dictionary only lists “accommoderont”.

Context for this tense

I’ll just echo the suggestion to add the context (e.g. as described by Chris) to this lesson. Prior to reading the context I was thinking “we don’t even use this tense in English”. After reading it I realised that of course we do use it, and I could understand where it could be meaningfully used.
