can't
We use can't to talk about something that is against the rules, particularly when we didn't
make the rules.

What does this sign say? Oh, we can't park here.

Sorry, we can't sell knives to under-18s.
Permission – can, may, could
'Can' is most often used to ask for or give
permission but 'may' and 'could' are also possible
even though they are not used as often as 'can’.
