A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Give learners page 1 and keep the teacher key on page 2 separate. Personal answers in the key are examples, not required responses.
- Complete the six questions about cycling, cooking, singing, languages, instruments and sport.
- Write a full personal answer to each question, keeping the verb after can in its base form.
- Reorder the swimming, sister's driving and ability questions; check capitals and question marks.
Support and extension
Offer activity words and imagined answers. Can does not take -s with he/she; accept different abilities rather than copying the key.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
