Japanese please help?

Question:


1.watashiwa piano o hikimasu kotoga dekimasu
2.watashiwa piano o hiku kotoga dekimasu
are they the same meaning ? both correct grammar ?

Answer:


I once replied before you post this again.

2. is correct. "be able to+ a bare verb" in English is adapted "a bare verb + kotoga dekimasu" in Japanese.

If translate the former, perhaps it'll be like "I'm be able to I play the piano."
Sounds unnatural.

Someone else advised you to change "o" to "wo".

Warm regards,
