"Can we take a bus to the school?"

Translation: 我们可以坐公共汽车去学校吗？

[jvitti624]

Could we use 会 or is 可以 obligatory?

[Letlotlo]

no. 会 refers to learned skilled, e.g. can cook, can speak Chinese, can sing, etc.

可以 is where some form of permission is being asked, or was granted.

[SimonSprin1]

I think 会 would change the meaning to “Will we ...”

[daltonstout59]

Is it possible to say "我们可以去学校坐公共汽车“?

[gnaweilrahc]

Nope, that would imply that you're going to school to catch the bus. Also, without the "吗" at the end you're making a statement rather than asking a question

[2Klk4]

No, that means "Can we go to school to take a bus?", it is quite different.

[Randy703281]

我們可以到學校坐公共汽車嗎？

[SimonSprin1]

I just suggested this: ”我们可不可以坐公共汽车去学校。“.

[carsenyoung]

That's what I put. Any body know if/why it's wrong?

[SimonSprin1]

I think it’s right. Keep reporting it and eventually you will get an automated email saying it’s been accepted.

[EmiLithium]

能 is also correct.

[JasamineLa]

應該是"我們可以坐公共汔車到學校嗎

[kalexchu]

It should be 汽車 not 汔車.

[Nagtatago]

can someone break this sentence down please?

[pinkfreud]

我们 = we
可以 = possibly/can
坐 = by means of (lit: "sitting")
公共汽车 = bus
去 = go
学校 = school
吗 = (question marker for yes/no-answer questions)

[digitalpointer]

Well, literally, it's "We can take bus go school yes/no?"

[Bob327132]

My answer and correct answer matches

[Omayra-123]

Can you put 'ke i' latter in the sentence, like before 'chu'? Or does it HAVE to go after 'wo men'?

[jamawn]

The sentence you stated would not be grammatically correct. The only option would be 我们坐公共汽车去学校,可以吗?

[maartendoc]

公 (gōng) = public/collectively owned
共 (gòng) = common/general/to share
汽 (qì) = steam/vapor
车 (chē) = car/vehicle
公共汽车 (gōnggòng qìchē) = public common steam vehicle = bus
