Speaking tips

Key words — “cricket, football, badminton, chess, swimming, dancing, singing, drawing, reading”

  1. We play games and sports: play cricket, play chess, play the guitar.
  2. After “I like” use the -ing word: “I like reading.” “I like dancing.”
  3. After “can” use the simple word: “Can you ride a bicycle?”
  4. Ask about others: “Can she swim?” — “Yes, she can.” / “No, she can’t.”

Use it for: Making friends, talking at summer camp, and answering “What is your hobby?” in a school interview.

Worked example: Can you ___ a bicycle? Ride

  1. Read the sentence and try each word in the gap: riding, ride, rides.
  2. After “can” we use the simple word: Can you ride a bicycle?
