Understanding how to use 能 (néng) is crucial for mastering the Chinese language. This versatile word means "can" or "be able to," and is used to express ability, possibility, or permission. When combined with verbs, it allows speakers to communicate a wide range of capabilities and permissions. For example, "我能说中文" (wǒ néng shuō zhōngwén) translates to "I can speak Chinese." Grasping the various contexts in which 能 is used will significantly enhance your fluency and comprehension.
In this series of grammar exercises, we will explore the different ways 能 can be applied in sentences.
