⚡ The Power of 'CAN' and 'CANNOT'

In this story, we see how we talk about ability and permission.

The Pattern: Subject + can/cannot + action verb

Examples from the text:

  • Balogun cannot play \rightarrow (He is not allowed/not able)
  • Balogun cannot ask FIFA \rightarrow (It is impossible for him)
  • He can play again \rightarrow (He will be allowed in the future)

💡 Quick Tip: The 'Must' Rule

When something is a requirement (no choice), use MUST.

RuleextAction\text{Rule} \rightarrow ext{Action}

  • He must miss one game.
  • Pulisic must work harder.

Difference: Can = Possibility ✅ Must = Obligation ⚠️
