$LESSON 3-4: Can — Ability
# ============================================================
# Source: ST §Grammar Can
$GRAMMAR Can — Ability
INTRO: When you're able to do something, English has one handy little word: can.
**{Can} is used to express ability** — and it never changes its form: it's {I can}, {she can}, {they can}, all the same.
The verb after {can} stays in its base form, with no -s and no -ed:
*She speaks French.* → *She **can speak** French.*
To make it negative, add *not*: {cannot}, usually shortened to {can't}.
| | |
|---|---|
| **STATEMENT:** | The students **can read** well. |
| **NEGATIVE:** | Mary **can't speak** French. |
| **QUESTION:** | **Can** you **fly** an airplane? — Yes, I **can**. No, I **can't**. |
| **WH-QUESTION:** | What languages **can** you **speak**? — I **can speak** English and Spanish. |
| | Who **can play** soccer well? — Bill **can**! |
**cannot = can't**

$GRAMMAR May and Can — Permission
INTRO: To ask permission politely — or to grant it — English gives you two words: may and can.
**{May} and {can} both express permission.** {May} is a touch more formal; {can} is everyday. Both keep the base verb after them.
To say no, the answers split: {No, you may not} for *may*, and {No, you can't} for *can*.
| | |
|---|---|
| **STATEMENTS:** | Children, you **may** have some fruit after dinner. |
| | You **can** leave early today. |
| **QUESTIONS:** | **May** I sit here? — Yes, you **may**. No, you **may not**. |
| | **Can** I write in my book? — Yes, you **can**. No, you **can't**. |

A paragraph is a group of sentences. All the sentences in a paragraph tell about one thing. The first word of the paragraph begins 5 spaces from the left margin. This is **indenting**. Some words have capital letters, and the sentences have punctuation. {Periods}, {question marks}, and {apostrophes} are punctuation marks.
