VERB CAN
Trata-se de um verbo modal utilizado para falar de habilidades que temos
(físicas ou intelectuais). Bastante utilizado na língua inglesa é um verbo chave
para muitas expressões idiomáticas.
Em inglês, verbos auxiliares modais são verbos que só ocorrem na presença de
outro verbo, são defectivos na conjugação e não têm passado nem futuro (com
exceção do can que tem passado e condicional).
Devido à alta freqüência com que ocorrem na língua, os verbos modais tornam-se
imprescindíveis.
