singular?plural??

Question

when you say"i can ,,,,," for example"i can hit a running rabbit",you use the singular after the verb.(or maybe plural??)

so if this is right, when you say "i can(able to) read a book" , does this make sense??

Answer 1

You can say, I am able to read a book. The subject is singular.
Or you can say, I can read a book, as well. Both are singular

Answer 2

I'm not sure what you're asking. Perhaps you have the wrong definitions of "Singular" and "Plural"? Singular is what a noun is when it's only one thing, like ball, broom, table, and car. Plural is multiple of an object, like ducks, bats, dogs, chairs, trucks and drinks.

Some words are the same whether they are single or plural, like deer and moose. For some words, the word is changed to show the difference between single and plural, like goose >> geese.

Your examples "I can hit a running rabbit" and "I can read a book" are both correctly used.

Answer 3

Your question is really confusing!

I can read a book.
I can hit a running rabbit. (singular after the verb)

I can read books.
I can hit running rabbits. (plural after the verb)

All these sentences are gramatically correct.

Answer 4

Your question is not clear. Both instances use singular rabbit-book

Answer 5

All of these are appropriate with "can"....

I can...
You can...
He/She can...
We can...
They can...

So, you are pretty safe starting out with "I can _________." and adding a verb after it.

Answer 6

YES!!!(i think!!!)
