"be able to" と "can" は同じです ^_^
"Could" is a little tricky. It is the past form of "can" so you can say
"I could not sleep yesterday" = 昨日眠れなかった
is the same as "I was not able to sleep yesterday"
"Could" can also be used in the present tense but has an little feeling of doubt, wondering, or politeness.
Examples:
"Can you do this for me?" vs "Could you do this for me?"
"Could you do this for me" is more polite and formal.
"I can go to the store" vs "I could go to the store"
"I can go to the store" is just simple, "I am able to go to the store"
"I could go to the store" shows that yes, you are able to go but you're not sure if you will yet. It's more uncertain, there's just possibility of going to the store later.
You can say "I could go to the store later.... but I'm so tired..."
but saying "I can go to the store later... but I"m so tired..." doesn't sound as natural.
"I got to" just means "I had the opportunity to"
so "I got to go to Hawaii" means "I had the opportunity to go to Hawaii so I went"
"I have got to go" or "I've got to go" means "I must go" or "I need to go".
If you have anymore questions please ask! :)

@SurixPlays If someone says “I got to go to America.” , then it implies they went to America or we can’t be sure if they went to America or not?

"I got to go to America". Got is past tense so that means that they already went!
"I get to go to America". means they have the opportunity to go and will probably go!

@SurixPlays 何回もすいません！
Then is there any difference between “ I could go to〜” and “I got to〜” and “I was able to〜? If you don’t mind, could you please tell me the difference between “be able to” and “can “?

@SurixPlays
Thank you for answering in detail!
About I have/ I’ve got to, i feel like I saw in a tv show or something like that someone saying “I got to〜 “ perhaps to say “I’ve got to〜”, but is this possible? 速く話すとhave が省略されることはありますか？
