Sagot :
Bonjour
can / be able to
CAN indique la capacité, la possibilité, l'aptitude.
à la forme négative = can + not = cannot ou can't
On ne peut l'utiliser qu'au PRÉSENT
can + Base verbale
BE ABLE TO sera la formule employée pour des temps autres que le présent, ou pour certaines tournures de phrases.
en conjuguant BE au temps demandé (prétérit, futur...)
1- Gary has travelled a lot. He can speak five languages.

Compléter les réponses aux questions avec "was/were able to)
Ici tu dois utilser "was/were able to". C'est simplement le prétérit de BE, Was pour "I / he/she/it" "were" pour "you/we/they". Il faut donc faire attention au sujet de la phrase, et ajouter un complément de ton choix pour répondre correctement à la question posée..
1- A- Did everybody escape from the fire ?
B- Yes although the fire spread very quickly, everybody was able to get out of the building
2- A- Did you finish your work ?
B- Yes, there was nobody to disturb me so I was able to finish my work in time.

B- Not, really, your directions were good and we were able to find it right away. (tout de suite)
4- A- Did the thief get away ?

Dans ce dernier exo, I could = je pouvais, j'ai pu.../ I couldn't = je ne pouvais pas, je n'ai pas pu / (j'ai pris le sujet I = je au hasard)
alors que "managed to" = on a réussi à ... on a fait en sorte que..
