Grammar rule

Can and can't

Positive	A kangaroo can hop.
Negative	It can't walk like a person. (can't = cannot)
Question	Can it swim? — Yes, it can. / No, it can't.

can + verb, the same for every person: It can swim. (not It cans swim or It can swims)

In a sentence, can is weak: it kun SWIM. Can't is strong: it KANT WALK.
