We use 'can' to talk about 'possibility'

.

Notice that there are two negative forms: 'can't' and 'cannot'. These mean exactly the same thing. When we are speaking, we usually say 'can't'.

We use 'can' to talk about 'ability'.

I can speak French language. ( main french zaban bol sakta ho)

We use 'can' with 'see' 'hear' 'feel' 'smell' 'taste' to talk about something which is happening now . (Where you would use the present continuous with most other verbs.)

I can smell something burning. ( main soonjh sakta ho kuch jal raha hai)

Can you hear that noise? ( kiya tum wooh shoor sun sakte ho)

We can use 'can't' for deduction. The opposite of 'can't' in this context is 'must'.
