can and can't
Ability, permission and the first polite request — one small word that unlocks three different lessons.

Adding the -s, hearing the -s, and the handful of words that refuse to play along.

What is happening right now — the easiest tense to demonstrate, because you can act every sentence out.

Real possibility or imagined situation? If it rains, we'll stay in. If I won the lottery, I'd quit. Form, meaning and the “if I would” trap.
- Ages 12+

The passive (present and past)
