Bonjour

CAN = exprime la capacité /CAN't l'incapacité  au présent

1. Could you swim when you were 10?

2. We couldn't get to the meeting on time yesterday because the train was delayed by one hour.

3. He's amazing, he can speak 5 languages including Chinese.

4. I couldn't drive a car until I was 34, then I moved to the countryside so I had to learn.

6. She's 7 years old but she can't read yet her parents are getting her extra lessons.

7. He read the book three times but he couldn't understand it.
