When 'could' and 'can' work in a question and answer
Hi. I think Englishpage.com's tutorial on modal verbs noted the modal verb 'can' can denote possibility and impossibility but the application is limited to those that involve generalization or supposition. The sentences are made-up for a purpose of grammar exercise.
Now, do you think we can write these?
A: He can't be making that much money in sales. He is blind.
B: You are wrong. His success shows that a blind person can succeed just like any normal sales person.
A: He can't be making that much money in sales. He is blind.
B: You're wrong again. Yes, he could.
