Краткое содержание урока:
Сегодняшняя тема — can (кэн): простая способность и вежливая просьба. Это очень важная A1-грамматика. В русском can обычно передаётся как «мочь», «уметь», «быть в состоянии». После can глагол ставится в базовой форме и не меняется.

- can (кэн) = мочь, уметь
- swim (суим) = плавать
