Many kids can lisp a few words.
Explanation:
- Modal auxiliaries are helping verbs. They are attached to the main verbs to express various conditions as certainty, politeness, permission, probability, possibility.
- The modal auxiliaries used for certainty are must, will, can and shall. They express a conformity when they are attached to the main verb.
- In the given sentence, ‘Many kids can barely lisp a few words’, is a probability. The adverb ‘barely’ expresses the degree of probability.
- To change the sentence to a certainty the modal auxiliary ‘can’ is added directly to lisp without any adverb.
