Hi! I read this sentence at the end of this [NHK News Web Easy article](https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/easy/k10014583831000/k10014583831000.html).
大阪・関西万博では、「火星の石」を万博が始まってから終わるまでの間、見ることができます。
I was wondering: would using the potential form of 見る work in the same sentence? I was thinking of something like: 大阪・関西万博では、「火星の石」を万博が始まってから終わるまでの間に見られます。
If it doesn’t work, is it because the meaning of the sentence has changed? More generally, are there situations or reasons why one would want to express the ability to X without using the potential form of verb X?
Hi, I’m somewhere N3-N2, did a little bit of immersion but actually kinda lacking, yet I wanted to play metaphor re fantazio, should I seek some content with medieval vocab?? If so I would like some recommendations. I think maybe Fire Emblem might be a good one?? IDK
Currently playing pokemon yellow with yomininja and sentence mining with ankicconect, thinking about doing the same to metaphor but I want my experience to be smooth anyway
Is it みたかったです or みたいでした? Context: 子供の時、犬と遊んで＿＿＿。(I wanted to try playing with a dog when I was a kid.)
