CAN / TO BE ABLE TO In the future

Usually say that turnover to Be Able to Conveniently apply when you need to say about the possibility of doing something in the future, because the verb cAN There is no form of a future time (it is not possible to say Will Can).

But it is important to remember such a nuance.

The verb CAN itself can relate to the future. For example:

You. cAN REST LATER. Now We Have To Work. - You you can (You can relax later. Now we have to work.

We. cAN READ This Book Tomorrow, Let's Play Videoogames. - We can be able to (We can) read this book tomorrow, let's play video games.

In the future, turnover to Be Able to Used when we are talking about the possibility, ability, skill, which is not now, but it will appear in the future. Verb cAN It can not be used to express the ability, the ability to appear only in the future.

Right: I. will Be Able To Walk Properly After The Surgery. - I i can Normally walk after the operation.

Another example:

Right: will Be Able To Work As A Sailor. - When I finish these courses, I i can Work with a sailor.

Wrong: WHEN I COMPLETE THIS TRAINING COURSE, I cANwork As A Sailor.

Both options, cAN or to Be Able toYou can use, speaking about decisions or agreements related to the future:
