Can and be able to
The document discusses the differences between using "can" and "be able to" when talking about ability in English. It states that "can" is used in the present tense to talk about ability, while "could" is used for past ability. "Be able to" is more formal than "can" in the present, but is necessary to talk about specific past successes or failures, rather than general past ability. Both "could" and "be able to" can be used to talk about not being capable of something in the past.
Modal verbs
Modal verbs are used in English to express modality, which refers to possibility, probability, necessity, obligation, and other subjective attitudes. The nine modal verbs in English are can, could, may, might, must, shall, should, will, and would. Modal verbs always appear in the first position of the verb phrase and do not show tense or number. Double modals, while used in some dialects, are proscribed in prescriptive grammars. Modal verbs have a wide range of pragmatic uses that depend on context.

Modal Auxiliaries Overview
Modal verbs are used to express opinions about actions or states rather than stating facts. They indicate the speaker's mode of thinking and include verbs like may, can, must, should. Modal verbs are always accompanied by a main verb and do not change form based on subject. They are placed before the subject in questions and not is placed after in negatives. Phrasal modal expressions using verbs like be able to are also used to express modal meanings when multiple meanings are needed in one sentence or when the modal verb lacks a past tense form. Mastering the use of modal verbs and phrasal modal expressions is important for clear communication in English.
