What you can do
Abilities are things a person or entity can do—skills, talents, or capacities for action.
The word often implies competence: She has real abilities as a negotiator.
Physical abilities include strength and coordination; mental abilities include reasoning and memory.
To the best of my ability means as well as one can manage.
Ability in the singular emphasizes capacity itself; abilities in the plural emphasizes the range of what someone can do.
