Let me think about it.

--audio-id--

EN57112522

--feedback--

This response does not confirm that Maria will do what Bob asks.

--video-solution--

1

--explanation--

I can do that. in this context does not express possibility but rather willingness or agreement to complete the task. You can use it to confirm that you will do what another person asks. For example:

  • Person 1: Could you send the report by tomorrow? - This person is asking for a report to be handed in on the following day.

  • Person 2: Sure. I can do that. - This means the speaker agrees to do it, not just that they are capable of doing it.
