ABILITY/CAPABILITY (KEMAMPUAN)

- we use modals CAN to show someone's ability and CAN NOT / CAN'T to show someone's inability of doing something.
- we use Modals CAN + VERB1 to make the dialog
example :
(+) I can play guitar (subject + CAN + verb1 + object)
(-) I can not dance (Subject + CAN NOT + VERB1 + object)
(?) can you dance? (CAN + subject + verb1 ?)
