Dari dialog di atas diketahui bahwa tamu tersebut ditegur karena area tersebut adalah area dilarang merokok. Kata yang tepat digunakan untuk mengisi bagian rumpang tentu saja" cannot" karena area tersebut merupakankawasan bebas rokok, sehingga kalimatnya berbunyi "You cannot smoke here." Cannot di sini bukan menunjukkan ability, melainkan sebuah larangan. Artinya bukan 'tidak bisa' melainkan 'tidak boleh'.
