--description--

Can is used to show that something is possible or someone is capable of doing something, while can't is a contraction of cannot, indicating that something is impossible or someone is incapable of doing something. Both words should be followed by the base form of verbs.

Examples:

I can swim. (showing ability)

I can't swim. (showing inability or lack of ability)

--questions--

--text--

Which sentence is using can or can't correctly?

--answers--

I can to play the guitar.

--feedback--

This sentence is incorrect because to should not be used with can. The correct sentence would be: I can play the guitar.


She can't see without her glasses.


We can goes to the park tomorrow.

--feedback--

The modal can is followed by a base form of the verb, so goes should be go.


He can driving at night.

--feedback--

Can should be followed by the base form of the verb, without the -ing ending. The correct sentence should be: He can drive at night.
