📚 ~25 मिनट · मुफ्त · हर level के लिए

इस Day में क्या सीखेंगे

CAN for ability (I can swim) and informal permission (Can I go?)
COULD for past ability (I could run fast) and polite request (Could you help me?)
Polite forms: Would you like...? Could you please...? May I...?
After can/could/may, use base verb (no "to") — Can I go (not "Can I to go")

"Raju says "I can to swim." Chatur says "Can I come in, sir?" SAAVI shows the polite version: "Could you please open the door?""

I can speak English. (आय कैन स्पीक इंग्लिश)

→ मैं अंग्रेज़ी बोल सकता हूँ

Could you please open the door? (कुड यू प्लीज़ ओपन द डोर)

→ क्या आप दरवाज़ा खोल सकते हैं?

Would you like some tea? (वुड यू लाइक सम टी)

→ क्या आप चाय लेंगे?

May I come in? (मे आय कम इन)

→ क्या मैं अंदर आ सकता हूँ?

I could run fast as a child. (आय कुड रन फास्ट एज़ अ चाइल्ड)

→ मैं बचपन में तेज़ दौड़ सकता था

I can to swim. Could you to help? I can swim. Could you help?

SAAVI: Can/could/may/will के बाद "to" नहीं लगता — सीधे base verb आता है। "Can I go" सही, "Can I to go" गलत।

Two doors: "Can" (ability — muscle icon), "Could" (polite request — bow icon). Polite phrase bubbles float above.
