To really get good at using ことができる in your writing, I've learned that practicing and being around the language is super important. Here’s what helped me:

1. Write Every Day

Start by using ことができる in your daily writing. Try writing sentences about things you can do, like:

• 私は日本語を話すことができる。 (I can speak Japanese.)
• 彼はピアノを弾くことができる。 (He can play the piano.)

2. Make Up Different Situations

Next, change things up by writing about various experiences or dreams. You could write about different scenarios like:

• 旅行に行くことができるなら、どこに行きたいですか？ (If you could travel, where would you like to go?)

3. Use Real Japanese Materials

Read articles, manga, or listen to podcasts where you might see or hear ことができる. Pay attention to how it's used in different sentences. You can write these examples down and try to rewrite them in your own style.

4. Get Feedback from Others

Find someone to practice with or join online groups to share your sentences. Getting feedback can make you feel more confident and help you fix any mistakes.

5. Think About Your Past Experiences

Finally, write about things you have done using ことがある (to have experience doing something). This helps you see the difference and understand better. For example:

• 日本に行ったことがあります。 (I have been to Japan.)

By using these tips, you'll see that using ことができる becomes easier in your writing!
