Grammar explanation for '…ことができなくなります'












2















Is 'できなく' converted from 'できない'?
I've learned adj. '..い' can convert to '..く' in this case.
Does verb's 'ない' form also have such transformation?

          Yes. ない behaves just like an i-adjective. And the continuative form is なく just as you'd expect.



          As you may already know, to say 'becomes adjective' you replace the い of an i-adjective with く and the な of a na-adjective with に, then add なる.



          So できる (can do) -> できない (unable to do) -> できなくなる (become unable to do).

            ない behaves just like an i-adjective For the most part, but be careful with the ~そう conjugation for "seemingly not". See answers on this question for details. Confusion about “Seemingly not ~”.

          Does verb's 'ない' form also have such transformation?




          Yes. ない behaves just like an i-adjective. And the continuative form is なく just as you'd expect.



          As you may already know, to say 'becomes adjective' you replace the い of an i-adjective with く and the な of a na-adjective with に, then add なる.



          So できる (can do) -> できない (unable to do) -> できなくなる (become unable to do).
