1 have: "To have the right to do something" means "to be entitled (by law) to do something". Another example: "Everyone has the right to a fair trial in a civilized society".
1 are: We cannot say "you are the right" in English. Don't confuse "to be right" (to be correct, to have an opinion based on fact) and "to have the right to do something".
1 can: The verb "can" is immediately followed by another verb, not a noun like "the right". The policeman could say "You can remain silent" (although this is not what police officers usually say when arresting someone!).
2 are: "You are right about that" means "What you just said is correct". "To be right" is to have said something which is correct or accurate. For example: "-Lagos isn't the capital of Nigeria, Abuja is! -Yes, you're right!".
2 have: We do not use the verb "to have" with the adjective "right" when referring to correctness or accuracy. Don't confuse "to be right" (to be correct, to have an opinion based on fact) and "to have the right to do something" (to be entitled or allowed by law to do something).
2 may: The verb "may" is immediately followed by another verb, not an adjective like "right". The policeman could say "You may be right".
3 am: "I am not afraid of you" means "I do not feel scared of you". "To be afraid" is to experience fear. For example: "My dog was very afraid during the fireworks".
3 have: We do not use the verb "to have" to refer to fear or to being afraid. The verb "to have" most often refers to physically possessing something. For example: "I have some biscuits, if you would like one".
3 feel: Although we can say "I feel afraid", we cannot use "feel" in this position in the sentence, because the word order would be wrong. The negation of "I feel afraid" is "I do not feel afraid". The negative word "not" is placed between the auxiliary verb "do" and the main verb "feel".
