happens.

We put adverbs of frequency after the verb to be:

to be + adverbs of frequency

I’m occasionally free on Saturdays.

We put adverbs of frequency before main verbs.

I
You play the piano.
He can swim.
She can’t (cannot) play basketball well.
It speak French.
We run fast.
You
They

The negative of can is cannot, but we usually use the short form can’t.
Modal verbs do not change their form after he, she or it.
e.g. He can play the guitar. We can play the piano.
 YDYO Ortak Zorunlu Yabancı Dil Ders Materyali

We can use can and can’t to talk about ability. We use can to talk about things we are able to do, and can’t to
talk about things that we are not able to do.
e.g.I can swim but I can’t dive.
Note: when we talk about the skill or the ability, we don’t say go running or go swimming; we use run, swim,
etc.
e.g. I can swim. I go swimming on Sundays.
We use can+ you + infinitive to make requests- when we want someone else to do something.
e.g. Can you answer the phone?
