Can and be able to
The document discusses the differences between using "can" and "be able to" when talking about ability in English. It states that "can" is used in the present tense to talk about ability, while "could" is used for past ability. "Be able to" is more formal than "can" in the present, but is necessary to talk about specific past successes or failures, rather than general past ability. Both "could" and "be able to" can be used to talk about not being capable of something in the past.

LIN020L007A Syntax and Morphology
Tahmina Haque Modal VerbsA modal verb, also known as a modal auxiliary, is a type of auxiliary verb that is used to indicate modality. In 'Understanding English Grammar' Payne defines modality as a complex conceptual domain. Many researchers have written on defining auxiliarihood and modaity ( Palmer 1986; Nagle 1989; Heine 1993). There is no correct way to define modality because of its highly distinctive and variable feature. Palmer (1986: 4) tries to explain the reason:'The real problem with modality is just not that there is great variation in meaning across languages but that there is no clear basic feature.' Modality is not only marked by modal verbs, it is also marked by mood and by particle and clitics. All these together make the syntax and semantics of modality one of the biggest problem for grammatical analysis.In this essay English modal verbs and their general characteristics are brought together followed by their complex effect in the language in terms of meanings and their general use in communication. Modal verbs are members of a large set of auxiliary verbs which have some common characteristics. Below is a table listing the modal verbs and their classification ( Quirk et al. 1985: 137):Class of verbsExamples CENTRAL MODALSMARGINAL MODALSMODAL IDIOMSSEMI-AUXILIARIES can, could, may, might, must, shall, should, will, woulddare, need, ought to, used tohad better, would rather/ sooner, BE to, HAVE got to, etc

Below are some characteristics of the central modals verbs :Takes bare infinitiveTakes negation directly Takes inversion without DO 'Code' EmphasisNo -s form for third-person singular No non-finite formNo co-occurrence Abnormal time refercenceThey have no imperativeThere are suppletive negative formI can go.can't, mustn'tcan I? must I?I can swim and so can you..She COULD finish that*cans, *musts*to can, *musting*may will You COULD leave this evening.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
