What is the correct form?
1) It can contain
2) It can contains
Answer
As a native speaker I would say
1) it can contain
To use contains, the word "can" must be dropped, e.g.
2b) it contains
Only the modal verb (in this case, can) has to be in third person singular, the second part of the verb must be in bare infinitive form (because it is used after a modal).
