Pergunta sobre Inglês (EUA)
[] Are WON'T BE ABLE TO and CAN'T generally interchangeable? Otherwise, what is the difference between the two phrases?
---
e.g. I WON'T BE ABLE TO[ CAN'T ] make it.
---
- I have noticed that "I won't be able to make it." is a polite expression meaning "I can't come" or "I'm not going to go" to an event, date, party, meeting, appointment, etc.

@Econkwon
in this sentence yeah, they can be used interchangeable.
But " won't be able to" means sth may not be done in the future by SB , no possibility of sth in the future
