Study the following notes and examples. Can combines the ideas of possibility and ability
Can combines the ideas of possibility and ability. Be able is possible instead of can, but can is more usual. Can has only two forms: can (present) and could (past). So to be able to do something is sometimes used to replace the missing forms.
With reference to the past could is used to say that someone had the general ability to do something. (He could speak three foreign languages). When it is necessary to emphasize that someone managed to do something in one particular situation, was/were able to is used. (The fire spread quickly but everyone was able to escape). The negative couldn't is possible in all situations.
