Speaking tips

Grammar point — “can / can’t + simple word; Can he …? — Yes, he can.; Let’s + simple word”

  1. After can and can’t use the simple word: “Riya can run fast.” “Arjun can’t swim yet.”
  2. Ask “Can she …?” and answer “Yes, she can.” or “No, she can’t.”
  3. Invite friends with let’s + simple word: “Let’s play!” “Let’s cheer for our team!”

Use it for: Sports day and PT class, making plans to play, and talking about what you are good at.

Worked example: Which sentence says “Can Kabir jump high? Yes, he can.”? Can Kabir jump high? Yes, he can.

  1. Listen again: “Can Kabir jump high? Yes, he can.”
  2. Find the sentence that has exactly the same words.

Check: Say aloud one thing you can do and one thing you can’t do yet, then invite someone: “Let’s …!” ✓
