Dear Trainers,

I wonder why we could not use "control" on this sentence. For example, I have a new car but I can't control it, is it right?

Please give me your response soon.

Thank you
Thuy Linh

" I have a new car but I can't control it, is it right? "

Yes, it is, but that wasn't the question.

I think it's an invalid sentence as more than one option fit.

e.g. Have you bought a new car? - Yes, I have but I can't control it.

Hi Pokemon,

In the test the reference is to the map and not the car. That's why it should be: I can't follow it (the map).

Thank you very much for you reply, Alan. Now I see I was wrong. But again it's the dialogue format that misguided me.
