⚡ The 'Power' of Can and Cannot

In the text, we see how to say if something is allowed or not. This is a key A2 skill.

The Rule:

Can = Yes / Possible $\rightarrow$ "Carlos Giménez wants to help people... stay" (He can try to help).
Cannot = No / Not possible $\rightarrow$ "Transgender athletes cannot play".
