THE MODAL VERB CAN

Can is used to express ability or to say that something is possible.
Can is the same for all subjects. We don't add an 'S' in the third person (like other verbs)
The verb that comes after Can is in the infinitive without to:

We can also contract the negative to form can't. (can't = cannot)
