Question

Help answer this question below.

Please ponder this question: What part of speech is "cannot" ? You can't make it past tense. I have always written cannot as 2 words not one because I think it's a helping verb + "not" as an adverb written before an action verb.

    Cannot is a contraction i thought.

    Example:

    Cannot - - > Can't
    Do not - - > Don't
