Whenever I speak it gets confusing for me where to use "would" and "could". I want some easy tips on how to use it. I mean overall how to use this model verbs for the past sentences and for the future sentences. And is there any certain genres of books I can read to improve my English speaking vocabulary?

I could have and I would have, but I can't, so I won't.
I could have (based on my assumed ability in the past) and
I would have (based on my assumed willingness in the past), but
I can't (based on my lack of ability now), so
I won't (based on my lack of willingness now and for the foreseeable future).
Does this help?

1Is there anything in particular that gives you trouble? Can you give us some examples? Otherwise the question is really too broad to answer easily. – Andrew – 2017-01-04T06:14:13.913
This is probably two separate questions. And the second question is probably off-topic, but can probably be better answered (and asked) at the English Language Learners Meta, Resources for Learning English.
