The verb 会 can be used to express ability that has been learned, i.e. a skill. In this case 会 is an auxiliary verb.
Structure
The basic structure for 会 is:
Subject + 会 + Verb + Object
This structure is the easiest way to express all kinds of skills, from languages, to sports to skills in daily life such as cooking and driving.
Some examples:
- 他 会 说 中文。
- 我 会 开车。
- 你 会 做 好吃的 菜。
- 她 会 踢 足球。
Negating 会 sentences
会 sentences are negated with 不, which is inserted in front of 会:
Subject + 不 + 会 + Verb + Object
Again, this is the simplest way to express the lack of a learned ability. Some examples:
- 我 不 会 做饭。
- 我们 不 会 说 德语。
- 他 不 会 拉 小提琴。
