Don't worry, It can be fixed.

Don't worry, It can be fixed.

Don't worry, It can be fix.

Please tell me the difference in the meaning between these two.

 

[tedmc]

The second sentence is wrong. "Can be" is followed by the perfect tense.

 

[kingston_123]

'It can be fixed' is a passive construction, which needs part of BE plus the third form (past participle).

How can you tell that my sentence is in passive construction?

 

[tedmc]

when the verb is preceded by "be/been/being" which indicates the passive form.

 

[kingston_123]

If you are using BE as an auxuliary, you must be constructing a progressive/continuous or a passive form. Only a passive form is possible in'It can be f[STRIKE]ix[/STRIKE]/[STRIKE]fixing[/STRIKE]/fixed.

Then why a "it can be fixing" is also a wrong?

I edited the question, please reply.

You have not edited it correctly. The word order is still wrong.

Then why a "it can be fixing" is also a wrong?

The word I have marked in red and underlined needs to be moved. The two words in blue need to be removed completely.

I am no good at grammar terms but I will try.
As mentioned, "it can be fixed" is in the passive
form.

It is understood to mean:

It can be fixed (by others).
"By others" is implied.

Now, does this sound right to you?
- It can be fixing by others.

Please stop asking supplementary questions. Simply rewrite the sentence above using the correct word order and using the advice I gave you in post 12. The final sentence should contain only nine words.
