There's nothing + (subject) + can + (verb)

'There's' is a contraction of the words 'there is.' When using the word 'nothing' you are suggesting that something cannot happen or be done.

✍ Here are some examples:

▪️There's nothing you can harm.
▫️There's nothing the police can identify.
▪️There's nothing we can agree on.
▫️There's nothing we can join.
▪️There's nothing she can cook.
▫️There's nothing my dog can learn.

By using the word 'cannot' or 'can't' you change the expression to mean that all is possible.

✍ Here are some examples:

▪️There is nothing I cannot ask for.
▫️There's nothing we cannot accomplish.
▪️There's nothing our dog cannot open.
▫️There's nothing that truck cannot move.
