Notes on vocabulary

The verb يُمكن literally means “It is possible.” In spoken Arabic you hear the word مُمكن which means “maybe.” So in formal Arabic when you say يُمكنني it literally means “it is possible for me,” يُمكنها “It is possible for her,” etc. Both verbs يمكن and يستطيع can be followed by either أن + verb or by the Masdar.

Study the conjugations for new verbal structures يمكن and يستطيع which both mean “I can”

[table id=47 /]

The verb أستمتع is always combined with the preposition بـ and then followed by a noun/Masdar. You cannot use أن or other verbs after this verb.
