Diary; May 30th, Tuesday
I went to attend the English class. Today we studied "can" "be able to" "used to" and their negative form and interrogative form. When I was a student, I learned "can" mainly. We didn't learn "be able to" very much, and now we often use "can". But our teacher said that most of native often use "be able to", and you should use "be able to". "will" and "be going to" are also similar. We should use "be going to" than "will".
*How about you? You use often "be able to" and "be going to"?

I attended (went to) English class. Today we studied "can" "be able to" "used to" and their negative and interrogative forms. When I was a student, I learned "can" mainly. We didn't learn "be able to" very much, and now we often use "can". But our teacher said that most native speakers often use "be able to" and you should use "be able to". "Will" and "be going to" are also similar. We should use "be going to" more than "will".How about you? Do you often use "be able to" and "be going to"?
Hello Mari,
In the first sentence you can use 'attended' or 'went to' but not both. T osave repeating yourself you can used the plural form of 'forms'. Also your question was a little unclear but I think I have corrected it to your intended meaning.
These two expressions are in common use as are 'will' and 'can'. My instinct tells me that the two expressions are probably more likely to be used in spoken English rather than written English.
Hope this helps
Bob
