    This document discusses the use of can and can't to talk about ability and possibility in the English language. Can is used with a subject and infinitive to express ability, such as "I can swim 500 meters" or possibility, like "you can take part in clubs after school." Can't or cannot is used in the negative to express inability, for example "We can't go to chess club today." Questions are formed with can plus a subject and infinitive, and answers use either "I can" or "I can't" depending on ability. The document also prompts the reader to make 5 sentences about a person named Marina using these grammar structures.
