Can't/unable
Thank you sir.
Another one, "when he was punched in the face the blood splashed everywhere/got splashed everywhere."
Sir, can you explain why we use got splashed? Is it because the blood splashed because the other person hit it.
I hope you can understand my doubt as my as well my question.
Thank you.

tostyle un the blood splashed everywhere the blood went everywhere (in splashes; like a spray) tostyle un the blood got splashed everywhere the blood was caused to go everywhere (in splashes; like a spray) There isn't much difference. The causality is evident from the part about the punch in the face, so it's not really necessary to call attention to it as in the second sentence. Therefore, the first phrasing is better than the second.
