Welcome to the WebQuest "Learning to use 'Can' and 'Can't'" in which we explore two fundamental concepts in the English language: the ability to do something ("can") and the impossibility of doing it ("can't"). These two modal verbs are essential for communicating effectively in English and are used in a wide variety of everyday situations.

Task 1: Introduction to Can and Can't'
Description: In this introductory task, students must read a brief explanation about the use of "can" and "can't" in English. This may include examples and an explanation of the fundamental difference between the two terms.

In this WebQuest, we have explored the use of the modal verbs can and can't in English, two words that play a fundamental role in everyday communication. We have learned that "can" is used to express the ability or ability to do something, while "can't" indicates the impossibility or lack of ability to perform an action. Throughout this learning adventure, students have had the opportunity to develop their skills in using these modal verbs through various interactive tasks and activities.
It is important to remember that mastery of "can" and "can't" is essential for fluency in English and for effective communication in a variety of contexts, whether in personal, academic, or professional situations.
As you continue your journey in learning English, we encourage you to continue practicing and applying what you have learned here. Remember that knowledge is a constant path of growth and development.
