标题: 请牛牛们具体讲解一下can &be able to的区别
总是分不开,虽然知道can是表可能性,be able to表能力,不过具体应用还是不懂,请指教,举个例子好不。谢了

You can say that somebody is able to do something, but can is more usual.


Bau can has only two forms: can and could. So sometimes it is necessary to use be able to. For instance,


I will be able to get the car in a week.

另外,GMAT常考的一个错误用法是be able to be done

也就是说不需要从意思上(能力还是可能性)加以区分吗,只要注意时态看哪个更合适,又没有明显错误就行吗?谢谢

各位,语言改正错误考试中会不会出现整体不是一个句子的情况?谢谢

The work of mathematician Roger Penrose in the early 1970s, on the geometry of what are called aperiodic tiles, turned out to describe the architecture of a previously unknown class of crystals. 有错误吗

貌似be able to是被动,比can更wordy?

新东方的gmat语法改错精解上说,can do好于be able to do好于have ability to do好于have a capability of doing,能用can就不用be able to,应该是简洁为美吧
