CAN - CANNOT - CAN`T
Can é um verbo modal.
Can é usado para expressar a capacidade ou para dizer que algo é possível.
Can é o mesmo para todos os sujeitos. Nós não adicionamos um "S" na terceira pessoa (como outros verbos)
O verbo que vem depois Can está no infinitivo sem TO:
- I can speak ITALIAN. (= it is possible for me to speak ITALIAN = I have the ability to speak ITALIAN)
- He can SWIM well.
- We can see our neighbor`s in the garden.
- They can play the guitar.

Negative
Para formar o negativo nós adicionamos "not" depois de lata para formar uma palavra: cannot.
We can also contract the negative to form can't. (can't = cannot)
- I cannot play the guitar. We can't go to the cinema tonight.
- She cannot speak French very well. He can't ride a bike.
Questions
Para a partir da pergunta que mudar a posição do sujeito eo verbo auxiliar.
O verbo principal ainda está no infinitivo sem to.
- Where can I buy an ice-cream?
- Can I go to the wedding, please?
- Can you speak Japanese?
- What can we do on Sunday?
Remember that you can use short answers:
- Can I sit here please? Yes, you can.
- Can you speak Chinese? No, I can't.
Impersonal Can
Sometimes You can and Can you…? are impersonal and refer to people in general.
- You can see many stars at night from here. (= people in general can see many stars)
It doesn't necessarily refer to you but people in general.
- You can't run naked in public or in the middle of the street.
