- She Is not/ isn't able to crawl

? Are you able To crawl?

Meaning: Expressing ability. "Be able to" is possible in all tenses - but "can" is possible only in the

present and "could" is possible only in the past for ability. In addition, "can" and "could" have no

infinitive form. So we use "be able to" when we want to use other tenses or the infinitive.
