[语法]
can与be able to的区别：
can只可用于现在时或过去时（can/could），
be able to 可用于任何时态；
can 只表示能力，
be able to强调有能力, 且能够成功(还强调成功)
eg. I can swim across the river.
我能游过这条河（但没有游过，不知道能不能成功）
I was able to swim across the river.
can: 能够，有可能性做某事
be able to：有能力，有办法做某事
eg. There is no paper. I can’t write. 没有纸，我不能写。
The child is not able to write. 那个孩子不会写字。
Can and Be able to
can 只有现在时和过去时，can – could, 此外could有时并不强调过去时而表示
请求，更加礼貌、客气。
be able to 可用于各种时态。
情态助动词can/could用于表示请求别人允许或答复时的情况:
Can/Could I borrow you pen
can有时可以表示可能性：
I can have lunch with your tomorrow if you like.
2. 当我们要表明一个动作已经成功地完成的时候，我们必须用was/were able to，不能用could. 如果表示某一动作没有取得成功， 则可用couldn’t
3. 在表示天生的或学到的能力时，can/could可用于现在时和过去时，can/could与be able to通常可以互换，表示将来的“能力”时，则用will be able to：
I could drive a car by the time I was sixteen.
I tried again and found I could/was able to swim.
Can Jane swim yet
No, but she’ll be able to swim in a few months’ time.
在谈到说话时正在发生的事时，一般不用be able to：
Look! I can stand on my head.
