🛑 The Power of "CANNOT"
In this story, we see a pattern that tells us what is impossible. When you want to say someone is unable to do something, use cannot (or can't).
Look at these examples from the text:
- They cannot buy food.
- Sick people cannot get help.
- They cannot find doctors.
How it works:
Person → cannot → Action
Try this logic for your own life:
- I cannot speak Chinese. (I don't know how)
- He cannot come to the party. (He is busy)
