Know how to VS can / can't I was studying how to use can and can't and I found out that they can also be used to talk about ability, basically know to do something. I kinda feel uncorfartable when using "can/can't" to talk about abilities bacause it can have more than one interpretation. Reason why I feel uncomfortable. Ex: 1 - They can't play soccer - meaning they don't have the ability to play soccer. 2 - They can't play soccer - meaning they don't have permission to play soccer, let's say because they are grounded or they have some sort of physical disability. So which one is more used and which one is more natural "know how to" or can/can't?
