She has always been able to work things out.

Past ability *could – general past ability e.g. My grandmother could speak five languages. *was/were able to – specific past ability *managed * succeeded in doing sth. Firefighters were able to/managed to save/succeeded in saving everybody from the burning house.

could not = couldn’t Used with both general and specific past abilities It was considered normal if children could not read when they went to school. I could not go to the lecture yesterday.

Present certainty and likelihood Present certainty must /can’t/should/shouldn’t + do sth be doing sth The lights are on, he must be at home. (I’m sure he is at home) His car is gone, he can’t be at home. (I’m sure he isn’t at home) There’s light in his study, he must be working She can’t be travelling, her work started last week. BUT: mustn’t – only used with prohibitions

should – when we are not certain, but think there are good reasons to think so. Ask Jessica, she should know it. Shouldn’t you be sitting an exam right now? ought to – synonym to should

will /will not = must/can’t (we are certain of sth because it’s what is expected.) ‘There’s somebody coming.’ ‘That’ll be Mary.’ ‘Lets’ go and have a bite.’ ‘No, the canteen won’t be open yet.’

Present likelihood may, might, could +do sth be doing sth (might and could express a smaller probability.) We may go to Japan this summer. (There’s a chance that we’ll go.) BUT: don’t use question forms of ‘may’ with this meaning!

To express that sth is quite probable Could/may/might + well + present or past He could well be at home by now. They may well have lied you about it. She might well be sleeping right now. He may well have been waiting for hours.
