Can is a so-called defective verb, which means it doesn't have the usual parts that other verbs have. There is no infinitive for can and so we have to use a substitute - be able. When we want to make a question with can, we say either:Can you help me?
or
Are you able to help me?In the future form the only possibility is: Will you be able to help me?
