"Can you do that?", "You can't smoke here"<br />Many times, people will say "Can I come in?", but that would be considered rude in English. When asking permission, one should use "may" instead. For example, "can I come in?" becomes "may I come in?".<br />We use "can" in offers, requests and instructions. Examples: "Can you give me the hammer?" or " Can I help wash the dishes?"<br />Can't & cannot. Both have the exact same meaning. "Can't" is the contracted form of "cannot", but both mean that you can't.<br />"Can" may be used to talk about ability. For example, "I can speak German" or "I can't drive".<br />It's possible to use "can" with "smell", "see", "hear", "feel" and "taste" to indicate something happening right now. Other verbs would have to use the present continuous. Examples: "I can smell smoke" or "I can hear shouts in the distance".
