Modal verbs
都可表示能力,意思是“能,会”,can的否定形式是can’t (cannot),意思是“不能,不会”。在过去时态中则对应用could和couldn’t。如:
can 和 be able to的区别:
I can fly a kite. / I can’t fly a kite.
When I was six, I could swim. / When I was six, I couldn’t swim.
be able to可以用于各种时态,并有人称和数的变化;can只有现在和过去两时态。

可以用来表示请求许可,意思是“能,可以”。此时can 一般用于平辈、熟人之间;could语气较为委婉客气,一般用于向老师、父母和长辈请求许可。
注意:这种用法中,答句都用can的适当形式。
--- Could I watch TV now, Dad?
--- No, you can’t. You must finish your homework first.
