Presentation
  • We use can to say that that something is possible or allowed or that somebody has the ability to do something.
We use can + infitive (Can do / can see)

The negative is can't (conjunction of can't) 

Teachers example to show: 
  • We can see the park from our house
  • I don't have a pen
    You can use mine
  • Can you speak any foreign languages
  • The word dream can be a noun or a verb
We can say someone that is able to do somehing, but can is more usual
  • We are able to see the park from our hotel 
But can has only two forms:
Can (pesent) and could (past) so sometimes it is neccessary to use (be) able to

I can't sleep
