Краткое объяснение урока:
В этом уроке мы учимся говорить о простой способности в английском языке. can = мочь, уметь; can’t = не мочь, не уметь. Очень важное правило для A1: после can и can’t глагол ставится в начальной форме.

Слова по одному:
- can (кэн) = мочь, уметь
- can’t (кэнт) = не мочь, не уметь
- read (рид) = читать
- swim (суим) = плавать
- run (ран) = бегать

Произношение:
Произношение приблизительное. Для русскоязычных можно запомнить: can = кэн, can’t = кэнт, read = рид, swim = суим, run = ран.

Разбор предложений:
1) I can read a map.
Произношение: ай кэн рид э мэп
Значение: Я могу читать карту.
Использование: can + начальная форма глагола показывает способность.

2) She can swim.

Значение: Она умеет плавать.
Использование: говорим о навыке.

3) We can't run very fast.
Произношение: уи кэнт ран вэри фаст
Значение: Мы не можем бегать очень быстро.
Использование: can’t делает предложение отрицательным.

4) They can't read this word.
Произношение: зэй кэнт рид зис ворд
Значение: Они не могут прочитать это слово.
Использование: после can’t снова идёт начальная форма read.

5) I can run, but I can't swim.
Произношение: ай кэн ран, бат ай кэнт суим
Значение: Я могу бегать, но не умею плавать.
Использование: but соединяет две разные идеи.

Натуральные заметки:
- can очень часто используется в простых разговорах.
- can’t — это краткая форма от cannot.
- После can / can’t не добавляйте to: правильно can swim, неправильно can to swim.

Частые ошибки:
- Ошибка: I can to swim.
Правильно: I can swim.
- Ошибка: She can reads.
Правильно: She can read.
- Ошибка: He not can run.
Правильно: He can't run.

Мини-практика:
1) Выберите правильное слово: I ___ read.
2) Выберите правильное слово: She ___ swim.
3) Напишите одно правдивое предложение о себе с can.
