RESPOSTAS
It is a modal verb. In the English language, modal verbs have the function of helping the main
verb in a sentence. In the case of can, it expresses ability to do something, possibility,
permission to do something, or an informal request.
1) It is not necessary to use the verb can with the particle “to” and the main verb will be used
in the infinitive and without the particle “to”. The correct thing is to say “I can do” and not “I
can to do”.
2) When using can in interrogative sentences, it will change position, appearing before the
subject.
For example:
3) When using can in negative sentences, it is necessary to add the "not" (contracted form:
can’t)
For example:
In short: the modal verb can is used when one wants to express “power” in the sense of having
ability/capacity, giving permission or making a request in an informal way.
Script: I wake up every day at 6 am. I take a shower, get dressed, and around 7:30, I have my
breakfast. Around 9 am, I start housework and at noon, I have lunch. I take a rest about 2
hours before I start studying EAD activities around 4 pm. At 7 pm, I have dinner and watch
some anime. Around eleven at night, I go to bed, and at midnight, I sleep.
