Explicação da Regra:

The three modal verbs 会 (huì), 能 (néng), and 可以 (kěyǐ) are all often translated as "can" in English. Sometimes they are explained as: 会 means "know how to," 能 means "to be able to," and 可以 means "to have permission to." This is a useful way of thinking about them, but in reality their usage does overlap somewhat. Both 会 and 能 can be used to express ability in something. 会／能 + Verb • 我们都会游泳。Wǒmen dōu huì yóuyǒng.We all know how to swim. • 他不会修电脑。Tā bù huì xiū diànnǎo.He doesn't know how to fix computers. • A: 你会说中文吗？Nǐ huì shuō Zhōngwén ma?Can you speak Chinese? • B: 不好意思，我只会说一点。Bù hǎoyìsi, wǒ zhǐ huì shuō yīdiǎn.Sorry, I can only speak a little. • A:你能吃三碗米饭吗？Nǐ néng chī sān wǎn mǐfàn ma?Are you able to eat three bowls of rice? • B: 不能。Bù néng.I can't.
