2. To be able to Se utiliza cuando queremos decir que alguien es capaz de algo, que puede. Can y Could pueden ser reemplazados en ciertos casos por esta forma verbal. To be able to  - ser capaz de, poder La expresión "to be able to" posee un significado similar a la de los modales "can" y "could", sin embargo no es un auxiliar modal dado que puede conjugarse en todos los tiempos verbales. To be able to + infinitive :  (capacidad, aptitud) saber, poder, ser capaz de Can + base form:  (capacidad, aptitud) poder, saber, a veces no se traduce El uso de "be able to" en el Presente Simple (am/is/are able to) es poco frecuente aunque posible. Para este tiempo verbal, el empleo de "can" es más común.

3. Example Helen can speak five languages fluently . Helen puede hablar cinco idiomas con fluidez. Helen is able to speak five languages fluently .  (poco común) Helen puede hablar cinco idiomas con fluidez. Can  you hear me well ? ¿Me puedes oír bien? Are  you  able to  hear me well ?  (poco común) ¿Me puedes oír bien?

4. "Be able to"  se emplea más a menudo en combinación con otros auxiliares. You  will be able to  get tickets to the concert if you arrive at the box office early . Podrás conseguir entradas para el recital si llegas a la boletería temprano. Will  you  be able to come with us ? ¿Podrás venir con nosotros? The kids   have not been able to  study much today . Los niños no han sido capaces de estudiar mucho hoy. Ms. Peterson has been able to  contact Mr. Hope this morning . La Sra. Peterson pudo contactar al Sr. Hope esta mañana.

5. PRESENTE SIMPLE There is often some confusion about  can  and  be able to , so let’s see if I can clear that up a bit for you. Can  and  be able to  are often interchangeable and you can  usually  use either one without a difference in meaning.  But not always. Can  is a  modal auxiliary verb that expresses general ability in the Present tense, or  could  for general ability in the Past tense. Be able to  is not a modal auxiliary verb, it’s just the verb “be” + the adverb “able” + the infinitive “to”. 

6. Skill in this It can be used both to and can be reliable . BUT CAN is more commun , especially when we are talking about a learned skill. Example: Peter can speak French is more commun Peter is Able to speak French .

7. 2. Skill in the future Always Will Be Able to be used to discuss the future Example: I will be Able to speak Chinese next year . I can speak Chinese next year

8. 3. -General ability in the past Could it be used or was / were reliable to . It Could BUT is more commun . Examples: Could I swim When I was 5 years old is more reliable commun that I was to swim When I was 5 years old . Could I play the piano when i was Young is more reliable commun that I was to play the piano when i was Young .

9. 4. Ability to do something in a specific occasion in the past Could NOT be used . Use it was / were reliable to Examples: I was Able to catch the 5 o'clock train to London . I could take the train from 5 to London. I was Able to finish His project before the deadline . He could finish the project before the deadline.
