verb can/can´t
genial
Can is a modal verb. Can is used to express ability or to say that something is possible. Can is the same for all subjects (nouns- pronouns). We don´t ass an "S" in the third person (like other verbs).
Next
the verb that comes after CAN is in the infinitive without to:
I CAN SPEAK SPANISH
I CAN TO SPEAK SPANISH
HE CAN SWIM WELL
HE CAN TO SWIM WELL
WE CAN SEE OUR NEIGHBOR IN THE GARDEN
WE CAN TO SEE OUR NEIGHBOR IN THE GARDEN
THEY CAN PLAY THE GUITAR
THEY CAN TO PLAY THE GUITAR
NEGATIVE FORM
To form the negative we add "not" after can to form one word: cannot. We can also contract the negative to form can´t. (can´t = cannot).
INTERROGATIVE FORM
To form the question we change the position of the subject and the auxiliary verb.The main verb is still in the infinitive without to. EXAMPLE: - SHE CAN DRIVE A CAR = CAN SHE DRIVE A CAR? - I CAN GO TO THE CINEMA = CAN I GO TO THE CINEMA? - YOU CAN PLAY THE GUITAR = CAN THEY PLAY THE GUITAR?
