can和be able to用法上的区别.doc
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.
