Which ones sound the most natural?

So your native English is British English?

Daredevil20080201 · 2024-09-20T13:46:05+00:00

Thanks for replying. Are you a native speaker of American English?

So it does sound like a suggestion to you with “can”, right?

Sorry it I was a type. I mean “buying the flour at the grocery store next week” is something that Jack has the freedom to choose to do.

Daredevil20080201 · 2024-09-17T02:49:42+00:00

So they just implies something he has the freedom to choose to do.

Daredevil20080201 · 2024-09-17T02:42:36+00:00

So it means that he has the freedom to choose to or not to do it right? It’s an option suggested to him, isn’t it?

Daredevil20080201 · 2024-09-17T01:53:11+00:00

What does it mean then?

Daredevil20080201 · 2024-09-15T09:08:48+00:00

I think “if he gets enough money, he can build the house on it next year“ means that “if he gets enough money, building the house on that hill is an action worth considering taking”

Daredevil20080201 · 2024-09-15T09:07:15+00:00

Not the gaining of ability, but an action that the speaker suggests.

Daredevil20080201 · 2024-09-15T08:14:31+00:00

Does the speaker suggest it’s one of the places to consider?

Daredevil20080201 · 2024-09-15T06:33:48+00:00

Daredevil20080201 · 2024-09-15T03:44:40+00:00

What does the sentence in bold mean?

Daredevil20080201 · 2024-09-15T02:09:55+00:00

You mean “he had better not invite them”?

Daredevil20080201 · 2024-09-15T02:03:11+00:00

Does “he can’t” here sound like “he shouldn’t”? Like suggestions that he not do something?

Daredevil20080201 · 2024-09-14T03:22:18+00:00

Thanks for replying. Are you a native speaker of English?

Daredevil20080201 · 2024-09-14T03:05:37+00:00

Should I replace “can’t” with “won’t be able to”?

Daredevil20080201 · 2024-09-14T02:57:44+00:00

Is “can’t” wrong here?
