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.
β Here are some examples:
βͺοΈThere's nothing you can harm.
β«οΈThere's nothing the police can identify.
βͺοΈThere's nothing we can agree on.
β«οΈThere's nothing we can join.
βͺοΈThere's nothing she can cook.
β«οΈThere's nothing my dog can learn.
By using the word 'cannot' or 'can't' you change the expression to mean that all is possible.
β Here are some examples:
βͺοΈThere is nothing I cannot ask for.
β«οΈThere's nothing we cannot accomplish.
βͺοΈThere's nothing our dog cannot open.
β«οΈThere's nothing that truck cannot move.
