able词语用法
able例句
able常见错误
able搭配
adj.(形容词)
able是具有评价意义的形容词,用于表示人的某种特点。able有两层含义:一是“能够”(尤用于不使用can或could的时态中); 二是“能干”。前者指因具有体力、智力、技能、时间、财力或机遇等而具有某种能力,通常也指应付一件事情的能力，有时还可表示“称职的”。后者指具有某种才干,即在智力、技巧、知识或能力等方面超过平均水平,胜人一筹,不仅指聪明,也含有经受过实际锻炼之意。
able作“能够…的”解时,一般用作表语,其后多接动词不定式(不接“of+动名词”),也可接介词短语。作“有能力的,能干的”解时,可用作定语、表语或补语。able接动词不定式时，其主语、able及动词不定式均存在逻辑上的主谓关系。
able用作表语时主语通常是人,也可为动物,偶尔也可为事物（多见于科技文体）。able用作定语时主要修饰人,也可修饰人所做的事,指事情做得好或做得成功。这样用时也暗示做成该事的人有才能。
除be外, able还可用在其他系动词如seem, feel等之后。
able作“聪明的,能干的”解时可受副词very, quite, more, better, poorly等修饰。
able作“能够…的”解时比较级和最高级可用abler/ablest,也可用more able/most able。作“聪明的,能干的”解时比较级和最高级用abler/ablest。
用作形容词(adj.)
We shall be able to deal with all sorts of problem.

自由的意志使我们可以选择自己的生活方式。

adj.(形容词)

误 After a two-month tramp they were able to reach their destination.

正 After a two-month tramp they reached their destination.

正 After a two-month tramp they succeeded in reaching their destination.

正 After a two-month tramp they managed to reach their destination.

析 able指能力，不一定意味着实行。已经达到了目的，就不仅仅是能力了。

这工作无法在一周内完成。

误 This work wasn't able to be finished in a week.

正 This work can't be finished in a week.

星期天可以见你。

误 It will be able to see you on Sunday.

正 It will be possible to see you on Sunday.

星期日我能见你。

误 I'll be possible to see you on Sunday.

正 I'll be able to see you on Sunday.

析 非生物名词作主语时用can或be possible to；“人”作主语时才用be able to。
