💡 The 'Can' vs 'Cannot' Switch

In the story, Darryn's life changes what he is able to do. Look at this simple pattern:

  • The Ability: "He cannot watch all the new playoff games."

How to use it: Use can for things you are able to do \rightarrow I can play basketball. Use cannot (or can't) for things you are unable to do \rightarrow I cannot go to the game.


🕒 Now vs. Then

Notice how the text moves from the past to the present:

  1. Past: "He did not watch..."
  2. Present: "Now, he watches..."

The Rule: When you see the word Now, you usually add an -s to the action word for one person (He watches, She plays, It works).
