Grammar

are you able or are you be able

Hi
I'm a bit confused about the difference between "Are you able to..." and "Are you be able to...." the second doesn't make sense to me in terms of grammar but I can see it's been used often. Can anyone shed some light on it?

Thanks

What do you mean by "Thanks anyway"? Do you still think that "are you be able to?." is correct?

Hi,

Both of your examples are incorrect English.

There's a lot of incorrect English on the internet, alas!

Are you able to pick me up? I just want to know if this is wrong grammatically?

I think the above example is wrong.

It should be :

Are you going to be able to pick me up?

or

Are you gonna be able to pick me up?
