🔍 Explanation:

All sentences have a cross (✘) beside them, which means the person or thing is not able to do the action. Therefore, we use "cannot" for all of them.

This worksheet helps learners practice using modal verbs ("can" / "cannot") correctly with different subjects and understand how to express ability or lack thereof.
