Today I'm not going to write a diary, but going to ask you some questions instead.
When I find two sentences which have the same meaning but are expressed in a different way, I take notes because I'm not sure what's the difference between the two. Here is the some of them.
A1. I could release the song.
B1. I could do with releasing the song.
A2. Which is yours?
B2. Which is supposed to be yours?
I don't know those differences.
I'd appreciate if you taught me how different they are.

I could release the song.
歌をリリースすることができます。
I could do with releasing the song.
まあ、今歌をリリースができること場合いいですね。というわけこの文の感じ。
Which is yours?
あなたのものはどちらですか？
Which is supposed to be yours?
この文の感じは仮定感じです。
考えいます・・どちらものはあなたのものですか？あれやこれですか？あなた物は何ですか？教えて。
Is this suppose to be yours or is that suppose to be your? Which is it?
例えば二つのアイテムを保持している。
This is quite difficult to explain.
これは説明することは極めて困難である。
さて、私はあなたにこれを説明しようとする私の日本語の能力を使用につもりです。うまくいけば理解するでしょう。
Actually I think I failed in explaining.
説明するのに失敗したと思います。
Maybe you can correct my Japanese instead. hehe.
多分あなたは私の日本語を修正することがもうできますね（笑）
B1. I could do with releasing the song.
B1 is confusing to me.. So sorry I don't think I can help with this difference. However I'll try to explain the other.
A2. Which is yours?
This means: Which one belongs to you?
B2. Which is supposed to be yours?
This means: Which one is supposed to belong to you?
The difference is supposed, which is an assumption.
In A2 it seems like the speaker is asking someone which item is there.
In B2 it seems like the speaker is asking someone, assuming the don't know either, which item is theirs.
In B2 both speaker and person being asked (maybe) unsure which item belongs to the person being asked.
It's very difficult to explain, I'm sorry my Japanese isn't good enough to explain in Japanese for you.. ^^;;;
