Hello and welcome to Nihongoいちにのさん!!
Let's study Japanese grammar together.
～ができます／～ことができます Part2
Imagine if you were a restaurant owner, how would you advertise your restaurant?
" You will have the best sushi in the world at our restaurant."
Hmmm...is this a bit cliché?
"'Our restaurant offers the culinary experience of the best chef in the world.
" You will have the best dinner of your life at our restaurant."
"Here you can spend time with your loved ones in a relaxed atmosphere."
In any case, you would like to say what the customer can experience at that restaurant.
In such cases, "できる" is useful.
You can say "このレストランでは世界一の料理を食べることができます（このレストランでは せかいいちのりょうりを ことができます）。”
We learned that "できる" expresses an individual's ability to do something.
It can also express "the act is possible in a given situation".
Then, let's study "～ができる" and "～ことができる."
👉<Use>
・ "～ができる" and "～ことができる" are used to the act is possible in a given situation.
In English, "できる" means "can" or "be able to."
The sentence "このレストランでは世界一の料理を食べることができます。" means "You can eat the best food in the world at this restaurant."
👉<Form>
In the case of nouns, the particle "が" is placed before "できます".
予約（よやく）が できます。
予約＝noun
In the case of verbs, to add "こと" to the " verb じしょform".
And after that, add the particle "が" and the verb "できますcan".
料理を 食べる（たべる）ことができます。
たべます＝verb
