Question about English (US)
Hey!
I'm a little confused about sentences which are interrogative and nagative at the same time.
For exemple:
Negative: "You can't do that"
Interrogative: "Can you do that?"
But... which way below is right?:
Interrogative and negative: "You can't do that?" or "Can't you do that?"?
Help me plisss

@LucasVL If you say "You can't do that?", it sounds surprised and judgemental. If you want to know if they can do something, it would be, "Can't you do that?"
