      Hello PandaRose! :)

      Both are accepted, but « cannot » is more common.

        hii!!

        Both "cannot" and "can not" are correct, but "cannot" is generally more common and considered the standard spelling. The single word "cannot" is widely accepted and used in both formal and informal writing. On the other hand, "can not" is not incorrect, but it is less common and is typically used when you want to emphasize the separate words. For most situations, it's recommended to use "cannot" as it is the more prevalent and widely accepted form.
