Last activities show you “CAN” as the word that we use to express ABILITY.

Messi can play football but he can’t play basketball.

But sometimes, CAN means also possibility

Messi can play football in the afternoon, but he can’t play in the
morning because he si very busy.

Nas actividades pasadas vimos que can refírese a habilidade.

Messi can paly football (Messi ten a habilidade/sabe xogar ao fútbol)

Pero moitas veces, CAN tamén serve para expresar posibilidade:

Messi can play football in the afternoon, but he can’t play in the morning
because he si very busy. (Messi ten a posibilidade/pode xogar polas mañás,
pero polas tardes non pode porque está ocupado)
