CAN Stays the Same
The good news is CAN is very easy! It does not change for different people. You always use 'can' after the person (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) and before the action word. For example, 'I can jump,' 'She can jump,' 'They can jump.'
- CAN does not change for different people.
- Place CAN after the person and before the verb.
When You CANNOT Do Something
If you are not able to do something, you use CANNOT or CAN’T. CAN’T is a shorter way to say CANNOT, and they mean the same thing. In Slovenian, this is like 'ne morem' or 'ne moreš.' For example, 'I cannot fly' or 'A dog can’t talk.'
