==English==

{{rank|then|A|should|81|can|made|did|such}}

===Etymology 1===
{{etyl|ang}} {{term|cunnan||to know (how)|lang=ang}}.

====Pronunciation====
* {{a|stressed}}
** {{enPR|kăn}}, {{IPA|/kæn/}}, {{SAMPA|/k{n/}}
** {{audio|en-us-can.ogg|Audio (US)}}
** {{rhymes|æn}}
* {{a|unstressed}}
** {{IPA|/kən/|/kn̩/}}, {{SAMPA|/k@n/|2=/kn=/}}

====Verb====
{{en-verb|inf=-|[[can]]|-|could|'''[[couth]]''' (''obsolete except in adjective use'')}}

# {{context|obsolete|transitive}} To [[know]].
# {{context|modal auxiliary verb, defective}} To know how to; to be [[able]] to.
#: ''She '''can''' speak English, French, and German.''
#: ''I '''can''' play football.''
#: ''Can you remember your fifth birthday?''
# {{context|modal auxiliary verb, defective|informal}} [[may|May]]; to be permitted or enabled to.
#: ''You '''can''' go outside and play when you're finished with your homework.''
#: '''''Can''' I use your pen?''

=====Usage notes=====
For missing forms, substitute inflected forms of ''[[be able to]]'', as:
* ''I might be able to go.''
* ''I was able to go yesterday.''
* ''I had been able to go before.''
* ''I will be able to go tomorrow.''

The word [[could]] also suffices in many tenses. &quot;I would be able to go&quot; is equivalent to &quot;I could go&quot;, and &quot;I was not able to go&quot; can be rendered &quot;I couldn't go&quot;. (Unless there is a clear indication otherwise, &quot;could ''verb''&quot; means &quot;would be able to ''verb''&quot;, but &quot;couldn't ''verb''&quot; means &quot;was/were not able to ''verb''&quot;. It is unclear why.)

The present tense negative ''can not'' is often contracted to ''[[cannot]]'' or ''[[can't]]''.

The use of ''can'' in asking permission is sometimes criticized as being impolite or incorrect by those who favour the more formal alternative ''&quot;may I...?&quot;''.

''Can'' is sometimes used rhetorically to issue a command, placing the command in the form of a request.  For instance, ''&quot;Can you hand me that pen?&quot;'' as a polite substitution for ''&quot;Hand me that pen.&quot;''
