​MODAL VERBS

​CAN

Is used to talk about ability and permission.

We use the verb "can" the same way as we use "poder" in Spanish.

• I can ride a bicycle - Puedo andar en bicicleta

​We can also use it to ask for or give permission

• Can I go to the party? No, you can't.

• ¿Puedo ir a la fiesta? No, no podés.

Some text here about the topic of discussion

​MUST

Is used to talk about obligation/duty or prohibition.​

Must has the same uses as "deber" does in Spanish.

• You must be on time for class - Debés llegar a horario a clase.

• You mustn't chew gum in class - No debés masticar chicle en clase.​

Must is very often used in rules and orders.
