The Power of 'Can'

In the text, we see: "He can play many different positions."

When you want to talk about a skill or an ability, use can. It is a magic word because it never changes, no matter who you are talking about.

  • I can play.
  • He can play.
  • They can play.

Word Shifts: Now vs. Future

Look at how the story moves through time:

Now (Current state) →\rightarrow "He is now retiring." Future (Goal) →\rightarrow "They want to win... in 2026."
