Can: -할(-ㄹ) 수 있다 I can: 나는 할 수 있다 You can: 너는 할 수 있다 We can: 우리는 할 수 있다 However, when a verb is added, "할" should be changed to the verb. For example, I can run: 나는 달릴 수 있다 // run: 달리다 I can study: 나는 공부할 수 있다 // study: 공부하다 I can drink: 나는 마실 수 있다 // drink: 마시다 I can say: 나는 말할 수 있다 // say: 말하다 I can sleep: 나는 잘 수 있다 // sleep: 자다 So basically, "수 있다" is fixed, but "할" is changable depending on the verb. As you can see, just subtract "다" which is at the end of the verb and add "ㄹ".
