GRAMMAR

EXPRESSING ABILITY

(Can / Could / Be able to / Manage to)

1. Can

a. Can is used to express present or general ability.

- I can swim.

- We can speak English.

b. We use can for the present or for the future when we decide we are able to do something.

- We can go swimming tomorrow.

Sometimes it is necessary to use (be) able to in place of can.

- I can’t contact him. / I haven’t been able to contact him for two days.

2. Could

a. We use could as the past tense of can.

3. Be able to

We use "be able to" to express ability. "Able" is an adjective meaning

having the power, skill or means to do something. If we say "I am able to

swim.", it is like saying "I can swim.".

- You will be able to speak perfect English very soon. (future simple)

- I would like to be able to fly an airplane. (infinitive)
