Answer 1

Resposta: a) Yes, she can. b) No, I cant't. c) No, he can't. d) Yes, you can. e) Yes, he can. f) No, he can't. g) No, we can't. h) Yes, they can.

Explicação:

Can é o verbo que dá habilidade/permissão dependendo do contexto.

Exemplo: I can sleep too late today. (Eu *posso* dormir tarde hoje) e I can cook a strawberry cake. (Eu *consigo* cozinhar bolo de morango.

Can't é a contração de Can not, que é a forma negativa do Can. Ou seja,  não pode/não consigo, exemplo: I can't sleep too late today ( Eu não posso dormir tarde hoje) e I can't cook a strawberry cake (Eu não consigo fazer um bolo de morango)...
