essere capace di...

Question 1

This expression always goes with the preposition “di” followed by a verb in the infinitive. It indicates a skill that we have learned or acquired, just like the verb “sapere”. In the negative, it means that we are not able to do something because we never learned how to.

In the singular masculine and feminine we use “capace”, while if we are talking about more than one person, we use “capaci”.
