Learning new vocabulary (especially verbs) allows you to use familiar vocabulary in different ways.
'Können' is a modal verb used to say what you can and cannot do (as in physically or situationally able).
'Kann' means 'can' and is used with 'ich', 'sie', 'er', 'es'. 'Du kannst' means 'you can'.
Modal verbs such as 'können' require a 2nd verb in the infinitive, placed at the end of the sentence.
