Vocabulary Learning

🌧️ The 'Can' Magic

In this text, we see a very useful word: can.

We use can when something is possible or when someone has the ability to do it. It never changes, no matter who is doing the action.

Look at these examples from the story:

  • Players \rightarrow can play again. (They are healthy/able).
  • You \rightarrow can watch on TV. (It is possible).
  • Rain \rightarrow can stop the game. (It is possible).

Quick Rule: Subject + can + action verb (no "to", no "ing")

Common Mistake: ❌ He can plays \rightarrow ✅ He can play ❌ I can to watch \rightarrow ✅ I can watch
