Learning

⚡️ The 'Can' and 'Cannot' Power-Up

In this story, we see how to talk about possibility and ability using one simple word: CAN.

1. The Basics

  • Can = Yes, it is possible. →\rightarrow "They might play" (similar idea)
  • Cannot = No, it is not possible. →\rightarrow "He cannot play"

2. The Pattern Keep it simple. Do not change the word after 'can'.

  • Player+extcannot+extaction\text{Player} + ext{cannot} + ext{action}
  • Ben White cannot play.

3. Quick Switch If you want to change the meaning, just add 'not':

  • Can →\rightarrow Cannot
  • I can win →\rightarrow I cannot win

4. A2 Tip: The 'Future' Word Notice the word "might" in the text ("They might not play"). Use MIGHT when you are not 100% sure. Use CANNOT when it is a fact (like a bad injury).
