be able to和can的区别
1个回答

can 与 be able to 用法比较

在一般现在时主动语态中表示“能”、“会”时,两者可互换,意义差别不大.如:

I can / am able to reach the apples.

但在以下几种情况中两者不能换用:

1、在词义上,can 除可以表示“能”、“会”外,还可以表示“许可”、“允许”或可能性,而 be able to 则不可.例句:

A :Can it be true?

B :No,it can't be true.

2、当表达将来的能力时,一般要用 will be able to; can 一般只有现在时和过去时两种时态形式.用于完成时等其它时态时,也用 be able to.例句:

1) I'll be able to speak English in another few months.

2) If I have a good sleep,I'll be able to work out the problem.

3) I've not been able to find my bike.

但是当人们现在决定将来是否有做某事的能力时,can 也是可以用的.例句:

I'm too busy today,but I can help you with your English tomorrow.

3、be able to 多表示“人”有能力或技巧做某事,一般不用于指物;而 can 表示人、物的“能”、“会”都可以.例句:

This kind of car can run very fast.It's new.

4、can 可以有被动语态形式,而 be able to 则不能用于被动语态.例句:

The mistake can't be corrected.

5、can 与 be able to 不能重叠使用.例句:

(误)He can be able to do it well.
