Why practice Ability (can/could) exercises?
These exercises help you master all the ways to express ability in English. Start with can and can't for present ability, then learn could and couldn't for past ability. Next, discover how be able to works in tenses where can and could cannot be used — future, present perfect, and after other verbs. Finally, practise choosing between can, could, and be able to in real-life contexts.
