能力・許可を表す助動詞を使ってみよう

Auxiliary Verbs describing capacity or permission
能力・許可を表す助動詞を使って講師と会話してみましょう。
能力とは、一言でいうならば「やればできる」力のことです。 代表的な表現はcanになります。内なる可能性を表現できるcan。 単純に「〜できる」というだけでなく、「〜していい」という許可の場面でも使うことができます。 許可の助動詞としてはmayも使えます。 【回答例】 I can speak English. 私は英語を話せる You can use my car. 僕の車使っていいよ May I help you? お助けしましょうか

Thank you for sharing that, you have expressed yourself well. I'm glad that you managed to climb the mountain.

I would like to try permission next. *Can I have some tea? *You can enter the room after it has been cleaned. *Could you give me my key? *Could you possibly tell me the password again? *May I borrow your car? *You may not leave until you finish the test.

When I came back to my country, I was so exhausted and had heavy luggage. I thought, 'I can't carry my luggage anymore' when I started to climb up the stairs. After that, someone said to me 'May I carry your luggage?' The station staff helped me. I was so happy, especially because the staff was so handsome.
