Be Able To

To be able to do something means to have the ability to do it. Be able to is sometimes used in place of can or could. Instead of, "I can't go," you might say, "I am not able to go."

You can use be able to in any tense. Just change the tense of the verb be. For example, you can say, "I was able to see a movie last night," or, "He will be able to visit me tomorrow."

he main thrust of these programmes is to strengthen the ties of addicts to their family and community and get the community to cooperate in the rehabilitation process. The de-addiction centres run by non-governmental organizations employ various systems of medicine such as allopathy, homeopathy, ayurveda, naturopathy and yoga coupled with a range of psychotherapies to cure addicts.
