Can it ...?

The word ‘Can’ (with regard to ability) is introduced. We look at ANIMALS (NOUNS) and their ABILITIES (VERBS). First we learn to make positive and negative sentences about the animals and their abilities, eg. ‘It can swim, it can not fly’ etc.  We then learn to ask and answer ‘YES/NO’ questions, eg. ‘Can it fly/run/climb a tree? etc. ‘Yes, it can./ No, it can not.’ We then look to the student’s abilities, ‘What can you do?’, referring to the VERBS in the VERBS GLOSSARY, we ask each other questions about our abilities.
