Объяснение:

To express past abilities, we can use "could," "was (or) were able to," and "managed to." "Could" is used to talk about general ability in the past, while "was (or) were able to" and "managed to" are used to talk about achieving something on a specific occasion in the past. "Was (or) were able to" and "managed to" both suggest effort and mean someone succeeded in doing something that was a challenge or took a special effort. However, "managed to" puts a little more emphasis on how hard the challenge was or how much effort it took

Чтобы выразить прошлые способности, мы можем использовать "could," "was (or) were able to,"  и "managed to." "Could" используется, чтобы говорить об общих способностях в прошлом, в то время как "was (or) were able to" и "managed to" используются, чтобы говорить о достижении чего-то в конкретном случае в прошлом. "Was (or) were able to" и"managed to" предполагают усилия и означают, что кому-то удалось сделать что-то, что было проблемой или потребовало особых усилий. Тем не менее, "managed to"  делает больший акцент на том, насколько сложной была задача или сколько усилий она потребовала.
