Can/Can’t, Could/Couldn’t, Have Been Able To/Haven’t Been Able To, Was Able To/Wasn’t Able To - Learn to express abilities and lack of abilities. You will practice saying what you can do and what you can’t do using modal verbs in the present tense and in the past tense - can/can’t, could/couldn’t, was able to/wasn’t able to, have been able to/ haven’t been able to. Part 1 there are no words for listening practice. Part 2 with words to check your listening ability and Part 3, we will do it together. This is an interactive listening and speaking video. You will listen to Mark and then you will practice on your own. This will build your fluency skills and help your speaking abilities, too. Have fun learning to express abilities and lack of abilities with modal verbs both in the present tense and in the past tense. Speak English now.
