All of the following are "Can you?" questions EXCEPT:
• Tsukae masu ka?
• Ike masu ka? • Tabe masu ka? • Hanase masu ka?
quiz 1.4.1 q5. not sure why it is wrong, can someone please explain?
here, the answer is: "tabe masu ka ?". I was also at odds with that question long ago.
The explanation is that the verb is: taberu (it ends in ru), so you can't go by the convention of adding -ru/-eru to the stem of the verb. These verbs conjugate to the "can form" by adding -rareru/-rare masu to the stem of the verb.
So here, the can form of taberu would be: taberaremasu, not tabemasu .
