'Can' is used for general ability, while 'be able to' is used for specific instances and in tenses where 'can' doesn't exist (like future or perfect tenses).
ملاحظات الاستخدام
Use 'able' primarily in the phrase 'be able to'. While it can stand alone as an adjective (e.g., 'an able student'), its most common function is to provide a future or perfect tense for the concept of 'can'.
أخطاء شائعة
Do not use 'will can'. Instead, use 'will be able to'. For example, 'I will be able to help you tomorrow' is correct, not 'I will can help you'.
