A: Hmm. Capability usually refers to potential. Ability usually refers to skill / talent. But their adjective forms, “capable” and “able” are interchangeable.

A: capability is the extent of someone's or something's ability.
ability is the possession of the means or skill to do something.

A: Enhanced capability implies that the existing capability has been improved, but it does not necessarily mean that the capability is advanced.

For instance, you can have a very simple technology which is then updated to give it 'enhanced' capabilities, but it may still be very simple technology after the enhancements.

Advanced capability implies that you are talking about something that is very sophisticated and perhaps uses innovative cutting-edge technology, however it does not indicate whether the capability has been improved or not.

A: 'Capability' is used to refer to ability.
- "I was impressed by John's capability to learn music."
- "The car is capable of holding 5 people." This sentence means that the car can hold 5 people, but because we don't mention any limit, it may be able to hold more than just 5 people.

'Capacity' is a bit more difficult. It can be used to mean the same as capability, but capacity can also be used to emphasise the limit of something.
- "I was impressed by John's capacity to learn music." In this case, both 'capacity' and 'ability' are used the same way.
- But capacity can also be used this way: "The car's capacity is 5 people." This sentence focuses on the limit of 5 people, rather than focusing on its ability to hold 5 people. This way, we know for sure that the maximum number of people the car can hold is 5.

I hope this helps!

A: 4x4 is probably the most common term for a highly capable truck. If I customized a truck specifically for tough terrain, then it's an off road truck but still mechanically a 4x4.

A: That’s a complex sentence. I think it becomes a little ambiguous in the middle of the sentence so it is better to repeat the word capabilities just to make it a little clearer. Good job though, this question made me think! 😅

A: Makes sense, but the choice of word could be better.
“Try to expand your capacities” maybe?

A: I don't think we have the capability to finish a lot of rooms and be on time.

This would depend on context.
