[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/לא-אוכל-#.m4a” /]לֹא אוּכַל
Earlier this week we heard how to say could have – forms of יכול[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/לא-אוכל-#.m4a” /] (able to) in the past tense.
But what about the future? I won’t be able to is אני לא אוכל[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/לא-אוכל-#.m4a” /], for example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/לא-אוכל-#.m4a” /]אני לא אוכל להגיע באותו ערב.
I won’t be able to come (arrive) on that evening.
The other forms of will be able to are:
