Ex: The command function 'DISPLAY' is used to display a list of alphabetically linked terms.Ex: For example, when setting up the format for records in a data base, the user can draw a form on the screen, complete with headings for each field, and then, the data is entered into the form.Ex: These headings, therefore, in addition to exhibiting a bias in favor of the majority, actively hinder access.Ex: The reputation of the information and its authority will be more exposed to examination.Ex: Other catalogues and bibliographies only feature added entries under title where it is deemed that the author main entry heading is not likely to be obvious to the users.Ex: The report introduced a range of ideas which have influenced subsequent code construction.Ex: Here is a key paper by a non librarian which opens up a new and constructive approach to library purpose.Ex: This illustrates the puzzle that differential policies pose for users.Ex: Informative abstract present as much as possible of the quantitative or qualitative information contained in a document.Ex: Many libraries provide users with photocopies of contents pages of selected journals.Ex: A short score is a sketch made by a composer for an ensemble work, with the main features of the composition set out on a few staves.Ex: Author abstracts are the abstracts prepared by authors of the document that has been subjected to abstracting.Ex: Demands from clients will often throw up an occurrence of similar problems, revealing perhaps the operation of an injustice, the lack of an amenity in the neighbourhood, or simply bureaucratic inefficiency.Ex: The eventuality is, admittedly, remote but it is also necessary to render the imprint statement in this amount of detail.Ex: The art of documentation is the process by which the documentalist is enabled to put before the creative specialist the existing literature bearing on the subject of his investigation.Ex: The perfect librarian may be defined as one who produces the information a reader requires as soon as the reader asks for it.Ex: This list indicates the dates the reports were tabled and any further action take.Ex: Most publications are

En el presente, can y to be able to son sinónimos. Sin embargo, en el pasado could significa que podías hacer algo, mientras que was o were able to significa que, además de poder hacerlo, lo hiciste: I could tell him the truth. Podía decirle la verdad (no sabemos si lo hice). I was able to tell him the truth. Fui capaz de decirle la verdad (lo hice). En el futuro solo podemos emplear to be able to: I will be able to do it tomorrow. Podré hacerlo mañana.
Para expresar posibilidad puedes usar may, could o might. La diferencia consiste en el grado de probabilidad que sugieren. Recuerda que may se refiere a hechos más probables que might o could: Puede que llueva mañana. It may rain tomorrow (crees que es posible). It might/ could rain tomorrow (crees que la posibilidad es más remota).
