Can y el imperativo

Expresar capacidad y permiso, y dar órdenes o consejos.

Can / can't

Can es un modal: la misma forma en todas las personas, seguido de la forma base sin «to», preguntas y negación sin «do».

  • She can swim.
    Sabe nadar.
  • Can I open the window?
    ¿Puedo abrir la ventana?
  • I can't hear you.
    No te oigo.

El imperativo

Forma base sin sujeto, igual para tú y usted: Sit down. Open the door. Be careful! Negativo con don't: Don't worry. Don't be late. Para «vamos a…»: let's: Let's go! Let's not argue.
