I make a mess when I use "To able to"

This week we have studied in English class the expression "be able to" and the modal verb "can". Although for my me it's not difficult to apply, I have some problem trouble when I have to use the past form, in the past continuous, present perfect... for example, as well as when they bring they add the conditional "would".

You will be able to get tickets for the recital if you arrive early.
Will you be able to go with us?
The children haven't been able to study a lot today.
Ms. Peterson to was able to contact with my this morning.
The police were finally to able to resolve solve the mystery.
Jim was not to able to meet Richard yesterday.
My mom had been was able to clean the house after that we arrived at home.
After I had been was able to open the box, I discovered that it's it was empty.
If my cousin danced every days, she would be able to become a professional dancer.
Peter would be able to speak Italian if he would be able to were able to live in Roma Rome for one year.
What the he loves most is being able to speak.

Thanks.

"Had been able" and "would be able" sound extremely unnatural and unusual. Substitute both for "could" and you have a good sentence. For instance, "Peter would be able to speak Italian if he were able to live in Rome for a year" would sound much better as "Peter could speak Italian if he could live in Rome for a year." 

Spanish tends to use "have + participle" a lot when talking about the past, but it's used very infrequently in English. Just use the regular past tense.

Good job. Some tips:

1. The word "English" and the pronoun "I" must always be capitalized, wherever they appear.

2. Never use the verb "to have" for age. Use "to be."

English education

Although I have been studying English for a long time, I still don't have much confidence in English. I should blame it on myself for sure. But I still want to point out a problem of with the English education system in Korea. A few days ago, there was an university entrance test in Korea. English tests have drawn many people's attentions for its their difficulty. I heard that some of English native speakers made clips to comment on the English test on YouTube. They said there were was so many much vocabulary English native speakers don't use and awkward sentences which don't make sense anyhow though.

At this point of in time, I am wondering why English education is being conducted in an unpractical way. I don't want to be a translating machine. I want to communicate with foreigners naturally.

You're pratically native yourself, though! Good job.

Social nets network

The first time I listened something heard about Facebook was some a few years ago, when a colleague told mes he had not didn't have time to post or read anything about her his friends, so I signed up for out of curiosity. Some years after A couple years later, Facebook was the most popular social net social network. It was like if you not were in weren't on Facebook, you would not didn't exist. I don't like the lack of privacity privacy, even though they claim you can manage it. Is that That is the reason why I only post and participate in groups about photography.
The surprise is that Surprisingly, some a couple days ago I found in it my cousin on it, who has not been in touch with me for years. through privated messages I have sent my mobile phone number and now we exchange messages and pictures of our sons and we can be in touch again.
Thank you Facebok!

Question for confusing words

Hello, everyone

I would like to ask some questions. When it comes to " lose, loose, loss".

What is the difference between these three words?

Thanks!

Lose is a verb, "to lose." For instance, "I lose my keys every day."

Loose is an adjective. It describes things that are not tight. "You have a really loose grip."

Loss is a noun. "He was depressed after the loss of his father." It is the noun form of "to lose."
