0Here is my try 05000 :02br 02br 00In your examples they don't seem to have different meanings. But don't forget these: 02br 02br 00- You can't use01i 00 can, the meaning of ability, 02i 00with perfect and future tensens, so it is better to use 01i 00able to02i 00 instead. For example, I will be able to go to school when I am 7.
