0:21

0:26

1:05

can run really fast she

1:08

1:12

guitar

1:14

can you run really fast

1:17

when you can't do something that means

1:20

it's not possible for you to do

1:24

i cannot play the guitar i can't play

1:27

the guitar

1:30

notice that cannot is shortened to can't

1:34

we use can't more than we use cannot

1:39

when speaking can is said

1:42

longer for more time than the word

1:46

can't so for example

1:49

can can't

1:53

can can't

1:58

this is important because a lot of

2:00

people do not

2:01

say the t at the end of can't

2:05

so can can't

2:09

can can

2:13

remember that can always stays the same

2:17

and never changes no matter who the

2:19

subject is

2:21

so i can you can she can

2:25

he can it can we can

2:28

you can they can

2:32

in addition can is sometimes

2:35

said kin in the middle of a sentence

2:39

so for example i can speak french

2:43

can she

2:46

can play soccer

2:50

we can drive

2:53

remember that the main verb comes after

2:56

can or can't and there's no

3:00

two in front of it for example

3:04

i can speak german

3:07

i can't speak french

3:10

notice you can say she speaks

3:13

french or she can speak

3:16

french in this example

3:20

speak is the base form and there is no

3:24

s at the end i can speak german

3:28
