Talking about my abilities

When people want to talk about their abilities they have to use the modal verb CAN or CAN'T. For example: I can swim very well, I can write, I can dive. If negative: I can't speak Russian, I can't paint, etc.
In that way, if you want to talk or write about your abilities bear in mind the action you want to refer about and use the modal CAN.
On the other hand, if you need to write about things you can or can't, you can use the conjuctions "but" and "and" along with the adverbs "too" and "either". For example:

I can use the computer but I can't design web pages.
I can work with large groups and I can work under pressure, too.
I can't speak English and I can't speak Russian, either.

I hope you like it!!!!
