Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes confuse "canst" with the contraction "can't" because they look similar in writing. "Canst" is an old positive form used only with "thou" ("thou canst" = modern "you can"), while "can't" is a modern negative form of "cannot." Another mistake is using "canst" with "you" (e.g., *you canst*), which is incorrect; with modern "you," simply use "can."
