Verona, принципиальной разницы между was able to и could нет. Есть небольшое различие, которое часто забывается: was able to - не смог один раз, в какой-то конкретной ситуации. Could - не мог вообще, всегда
Thanks. It's a great drill practice for me.
For instance: you; I he; she; they with match; baseball game; at the cinema; at the picnic; at the theme park; at the water park; - yesterday - last Sunday - last weekend - last week - last night.
And if I remember my school studying well, there is only one modal verb for Future Tenses - it's to be able to.
can; may - don't use for Future Tenses.

Объясните, плиз, зачем такая замороченная конструкция
she wasn't able to go to the cinema last Sunday.
почему не
she could not
как я понимаю - есть смысл использовать able to
когда нужно будущее время...

или это просто для тренировки как can может спрягаться во временах?

есть ли принципиальная разница в смысле
you can или you are able to
you could или you were able to
зачем усложнять жизнь? :-)
