Answer:

Modal verbs are used for prohibition. These situations are the opposite of giving permission. This modal verbs for prohibition lesson shows you how to use may and can to prohibit someone or create rules. Links to the exercises are at the bottom of the page.

Can’t

Can’t is the most common way to prohibit something in English. It is not as formal as must not or may not, but it is the most common. Here are some examples:

You can’t drive here.

You can’t wear a hat in class.

You can’t smoke in the office.

Can’t is normally used to show inability, but in these examples it shows prohibition. It is like you are saying you do not have the ability because of the rules.

You could also ask questions about the rules:

Can I smoke in here?

Can I park my car here?
