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).

92 схватить
ХВАТАТЬ (СХВАТИТЬ)Глаголу хватать соответствуют синонимы catch, seize, grasp, grip, snatch, clutch и grab. Catch имеет значение 'схватывать, схватить, ловить, поймать': she couldn't catch the ball; he caught me by the sleeve. Seize означает 'перехватить, схватить силой' (сломив сопротивление): to seize a running horse. Grasp – 'схватить, сжать в руках': he grasped my hand and shook it heartily; the hungry man greedily grasped the bread. Grip – 'схватить, крепко зажать, стиснуть' (обычно имеет в виду действие, вызванное гневом, страхом и т. д.): the frightened child gripped its mother's arm. Snatch означает 'хватать, вырывать, выхватывать' (часто неожиданно для окружающих): to snatch a book from under one's nose. Clutch имеет значение 'крепко, цепко схватить, ухватиться за' (часто в отчаянии): he clutched (at) the rope we threw to him. Grab имеет в виду резкое, порывистое движение, насильственный (часто незаконный) захват: he grabbed the money from the table; the dog grabbed the bone and ran off with it. Catch, seize, grasp, grip и snatch могут употребляться метафорически. Catch означает 'приобрести, получить': схватить простуду – to catch (a) cold, а также 'уловить сказанное': I didn't quite catch what you said. Seize и grasp имеют значение 'понять, ухватить': to seize the idea, to grasp a person's meaning. Seize означает также 'захватить, овладеть': захватить власть – to seize power, захватить в свои руки контроль над чем-л. – to seize control over something. Snatch соответствует русскому 'выхватить, вырвать': вырвать больного из когтей смерти – to snatch a patient from the jaws of death.Трудности английского языка (лексический справочник).
