CAN and CANT
Can is a modal verb.
Can is used to express ability or to say that something is possible.
Can is the same for all subjects. We don't add an 'S' in the third person (like otherverbs)
The verb that comes after Can is in the infinitive without to:
* I can speak Spanish. (= it is possible for me to speak Spanish = I have the ability to speak Spanish)
* He can swim well.* We can see my neighbour in the garden.
* They can play the guitar.
