    The document discusses the difference between "can" and "can't" in terms of ability, permission, and probability. It provides examples of using "can" to indicate ability ("I know how to do"), permission ("Can I come in here?"), and high probability ("It can rain tomorrow"). In contrast, it gives examples of using "can't" to mean lack of ability ("I don't know how to do"), lack of permission ("You can't enter after 23 p.m."), and impossibility or low probability ("You can not speak to him since he is not here now").
