Complete: "She can ___ well."
Asing
Bsings
Csang
Dsinging
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. sing
1. Modal verbs such as can, may and must express ability, permission or necessity.
2. They generally accompany the base form of another verb.
3. So "can" is followed by "sing", not by sings, sang or singing.
**Why not the others:** Sings, sang and singing are not base forms, so none can follow the modal "can".
