    Well done! My points: 1. the verb 'can' does not need infinitive verb(unless you want to use infinitive in the sentence), e.i. can+verb, not can+to+verb. 2.Please use punctuation. 3. the verb in the past tense -ed never takes 'to', instead you can say: you couldn't(past of can't) learn(or to learn if you mean the process of learning). I hope it helps. ;) Where can I sleep at 10 p.m? Can I walk eveRy day? You can´t go out at night. Can you buy a book with (credit, yours, shopping etc.)card. You can´t sell a TV TO your mOther! You can´t to learn with thESE(plural) sunglasses. I can´t ?summing?(don't understand) at night. I can´t watch tv after 11PM. Good luck!

    JF - Rules, or commands, should all be statements; they should not be questions. Commands generally start with "you" because they are telling someone else what to do. Sometimes they start with "no", or a verb in a command form. They always end with a period. Some of your rules are in the correct form, but I will re-write the others in command form as much as possible and add one or two for examples. 1) You can't smoke in the restaurant. 2) You must go to sleep before 10pm. 3) You need to walk every day. 4) You can't go out at night. 5) You must buy books with a credit card. 6) You can't sell a TV to your mother. 7) No reading with sunglasses. 8) No swimming at night. 9) No soccer playing allowed. 10) No television after 11 P.M. 11) Walking on the grass is prohibited. 12) Pick up your toys and put them away before you eat. If you have questions about any of this, please send me an email. I wish that I knew Portuguese so that we could communicate that way. Sometime we should talk with the chat tool. Keep working on this. It takes a long time but it is useful to learn. -- Jon
