⚡ The "Cannot" Pattern

In the text, we see a very useful way to say someone is unable to do something:

[Person] + cannot + [Action]

  • Ryan McMahon cannot play.
  • Ben Brown cannot play.

Why this helps you reach A2: Instead of saying "He is not able to play" (too long) or "He can't" (very informal), cannot is clear and strong.
