Can / can't

CAN / can't

Examples: I can swim. They can't speak English. She can ride a bike.

Remember!

You need to add the infinitive after 'can'. I can swim. You can run fast. She can ride a bike. We can speak English. They can play the guitar.

Be careful For negatives you can add ‘n't’ or 'not'. I can’t drive a car. I cannot drive. Can they speak French? No, they can’t. Can they speak French? No, they cannot.

We say... We don’t say...

• Can you swim? Yes I can. (NOT You can swim? Yes, I swim.)
• Can she ride a bike? Yes she can. (NOT She can ride a bike? Yes, she ride.)
• Use 'can' at the beginning of a normal question : Can + pronoun + infinitive
