Common Mistakes

  • Ja, du kann dich jederzeit abmelden.

    The verb must agree with the subject du, so it should be kannst.

  • Ja, du kannst dich jederzeit abgemeldet.

    abgemeldet is the past participle; the infinitive abmelden is required after können.

  • Ja, du können dich jederzeit abmelden.

    Combine the modal verb with the infinitive, not the conjugated form of können.

Alternatives

  • Ja, du darfst dich jederzeit abmelden.

    Yes, you may log out anytime.

  • Natürlich, du kannst dich jederzeit abmelden.

    Of course, you can log out at any time.

  • Selbstverständlich, du kannst dich jederzeit abmelden.

    Certainly, you can log out whenever you like.

Cultural Tip

In German the choice between du and Sie matters. "Du" is informal, so only use this sentence with people you know well or when the service explicitly invites the informal address. Also remember that with separable verbs like abmelden the prefix moves to the end of the clause – a common stumbling block for learners.
