Begin with the finished result

Model 1: I can drive.

Model 2: She can't come today.

Model 3: Can you help me?

Build the skill step by step

Can shows ability or a request. The verb after can stays in its base form.

Read for meaning, notice the pattern, then rebuild the model from memory.

  • can/can't for ability: use it in one true sentence of your own.
  • Can you…? Can I…? for requests: use it in one true sentence of your own.

Where learners often slip

Not: Unclear: i can drive.

Use: I can drive.

Why: The corrected version keeps the intended meaning and the lesson pattern together.

Now make the choices yourself
