接續
- Vます形 + っこない
解說
Used to strongly deny a possibility: "there is no way ~." It often follows わかる, できる or potential forms such as 書ける or 勝てる. It is a casual, spoken expression that shows the speaker's strong feeling. The meaning is close to わけがない, but more conversational.
例句

いくら頼んでも、父は 許してくれっこないよ。
No matter how much I ask, my father will never let me.
注意
It attaches to the ます-stem: わかりっこない and できっこない, not わかるっこない. Because it is casual, avoid it in writing or when speaking to superiors.

1「この荷物、一人で運べる？」
「こんなに重いの、一人じゃ（ ）よ。」
答案與解析
答案: 3 運びっこない
"Can you carry this by yourself?" "Something this heavy? There's no way I could carry it alone." っこない attaches to the ます-stem; the stem of 運ぶ is 運び, so 運びっこない is correct. The ない-form, dictionary form, and た-form cannot take っこない.
2彼女はとても真面目だから、約束の時間に（ ）。
答案與解析
答案: 2 遅れっこない
"She is very serious, so there's no way she'll be late." 遅れかねない means she might be late, which contradicts 真面目だから. The other two do not fit the meaning.
3彼の気持ちなんて、私に（ ）よ。
答案與解析
答案: 1 わかりっこない
"There's no way I could understand how he feels." Use the ます-stem わかり + っこない. The form っこある does not exist.
