Learning

⚡ The 'Ability' Tool

In this text, we see how to talk about what someone can do. This is a key building block for A2 English.

The Pattern Person →\rightarrow can →\rightarrow action

From the text:

  • "He can throw the ball very far."

How to use it:

  1. Use can for skills (things you know how to do).
  2. Do not add "to" after can. (Wrong: can to throw →\rightarrow Right: can throw).
  3. It stays the same for everyone: I can, you can, he can, she can, we can, they can.

Simple Examples for you:

  • I can speak English.
  • The player can run fast.
  • We can win the game.
