In English grammar the modal verb “can” and its opposite “cannot or can’t” is explained as a verb that we use to describe ability or the lack of it. For example, I can play tennis or I cannot swim.在英语语法中,情态动词"can"和它的否定形式"can't"分别用来描述拥有某种能力和缺乏某种能力,比如"I can play tennis."(我会打网球。)或者" I cannot swim."(我不会游泳。)
In question form it can be used to ask permission, for example, “Can I leave early today?” or as a challenge – “Why can’t I have another biscuit?”在疑问句中,"can"和"can't"用于征得同意,比如“Can I leave early today?”(“我今天可以提前走吗?”)或者可用于表达挑衅意味,如“Why can’t I have another biscuit?”(“我为什么不能再吃一块饼干?”)
Can’t (or cannot) is also used with some verbs to create idiomatic expressions and are widely used by native English speakers."can't"(或"can not")也常常和一些动词连用,在英语中是常用的习惯表达。
