were able to….: we use could or was / were

able to for general past ability or

To say that the ability or opportunity

resulted in a particular action, something

that really happened ( specific past action) ,

we use was/ were able to but not could

We can use either form in negative

able to) with verbs the senses ( see, smell,

taste , hear…) and verbs of thinking (
