Mine was a dragon! be able to”一般不用于表示将来的能力，通常用will be able to或be going to be able to来表示将来能够做某事。例如：I will be able to travel next month.（下个月我将能够去旅行。） 与can/could的区别 - “can”和“could”更多地表示一种能力或可能性，是情态动词，后面直接加动词原形。“can”通常用于一般现在时和一般过去时，“could”是“can”的过去式，也可以表示委婉的语气。例如：Can you help me with my homework?（你能帮我做作业吗？） “be able to”更强调通过努力获得的能力，有时可以用于各种时态，尤其是在完成时中表示过去某一时刻的能力。例如：After a lot of practice, he was able to run faster.（经过大量练习后，他能跑得更快了。） 一.单项选择 B Kites are a ________ form of art in China.
