Модальный глагол Be able to

Этот красавец заменяет глагол can, когда мы говорим о чем-то в будущем времени. Он выражает вероятность, способность что-то сделать.

По смыслу практически дублирует can, но в настоящем и прошедшем времени его обычно используют, чтобы подчеркнуть, что человек действительно был в состоянии, нашел время и силы что-то совершить или преуспел в чем-либо.

• I couldn’t speak Chinese but I was able to explain what I wanted. – Я не мог говорить по-китайски, но я смог объяснить, чего я хочу (у меня действительно получилось!)
• Mary will be able to move to Sydney. – Мэри сможет переехать в Сидней.

Модальный глагол Can

Can выражает способность или возможность выполнить действие: я могу, я умею. Он используется в двух формах: can — в настоящем времени и could — в прошедшем времени и сослагательном наклонении.

• can — настоящее время
• could — прошедшее время и сослагательное наклонение

В отрицательных предложениях к обоим глаголам добавляется частица not: can/can’t, could/couldn’t.

Давайте закрепим информацию — в этом нам поможет таблица. В ней покажем схему образования утвердительных, отрицательных и вопросительных предложений с модальными глаголами can и could.

Подлежащее + can/could + глагол

I can give you my number. – Я могу дать тебе мой номер.

I could give you my number but I don’t want to. – Я могла бы дать тебе мой номер, но я не хочу.

Подлежащее + can’t/couldn’t + глагол

I can’t give you my number. – Я не могу дать тебе мой номер.

I couldn’t give you my number. – Я не могла дать тебе мой номер.

Can/could + подлежащее + глагол

Can I give you my number? – Могу я дать тебе свой номер?

Could I give you my number? – Могла бы я тебе дать свой номер?

У глагола can есть парочка особенностей употребления:

1. Для выражения физических или умственных способностей, возможностей — Abilities

• She canspeak several languages. – Она говорит на нескольких языках.
• They can’tdance very well. – Они не очень хорошо могут танцевать.

2. Для выражения просьбы или вопроса — Request or Question

Can I have a glass of water, please? – Можно мне стакан воды, пожалуйста?

Чтобы звучать еще более вежливо, замените could на can:

Could I ask you to explain this in more detail, please? – Можно вас попросить более детально объяснить это, пожалуйста?

3. Для выражения запрета и предложений — Refusals and Suggestions/proposals. В случае запрета какого-то действия глагол can’t приобретает значение «нельзя/не разрешается» и никак не «вы не можете»:

You can’t smoke on the plane. – Вам нельзя курить на борту самолета.

4. Для выражения удивления, сомнения, недоверия — Expression of surprise, doubt, and disbelief. Удивление обычно встречается в вопросительных предложениях, в то время как сомнение и недоверие можно увидеть в отрицательных предложениях. Переводится глагол can/could в таких случаях словами «неужели», «не может быть», «вряд ли», «не верится», «возможно», «вероятно».

Can you really run a marathon? – Неужели ты реально можешь пробежать марафонскую дистанцию?

She can’t work 24/7, it’s insane! – Вряд ли она работает круглыми сутками, это же просто сумасшествие!
