Answer:
The modern word for cans ’t is 'you can.'
Explanation:
It was generally used with the word thou and hence literally translating to you can. It is the archaic second-person singular present of 'can'. For example: “If thou canst love me, I’ll marry thee”
It is, therefore, an old fashioned, poetic or religious word which is used to describe the ability whether one can or cannot. It is no longer used in the present day and therefore cannot be used to replace 'you can' in a sentence. However illustrations are seen in the texts and can be traced back to the Victorian Era of English Language.
