Краткое содержание урока:
В этом уроке мы учим can (кэн) и can't (кэнт). Can (кэн) показывает умение или возможность. Can't (кэнт) показывает, что действие невозможно или не получается. В вопросе мы говорим Can I ...? (кэн ай ...?) или Can you ...? (кэн ю ...?). После can (кэн) и can't (кэнт) используем глагол в простой форме: swim (свим), sing (синг), ride (райд).

Слово за словом:
- can (кэн) = мочь, уметь
- can't (кэнт) = не мочь, не уметь
- swim (свим) = плавать
- sing (синг) = петь
- ride (райд) = ездить, кататься

Произношение:
- can = кэн
- can't = кэнт
- swim = свим
- sing = синг
- ride = райд

Разбор предложений:
1) I can swim. (ай кэн свим)
Значение: Я умею плавать.
Употребление: can + глагол = умение.

2) I can't sing. (ай кэнт синг)
Значение: Я не умею петь.
Употребление: can't + глагол = отрицание умения.

3) You can ride a bike. (ю кэн райд э байк)
Значение: Ты умеешь ездить на велосипеде.
Употребление: простая фраза о навыке.

4) She can read. (ши кэн рид)
Значение: Она умеет читать.
Употребление: read — очень полезный базовый глагол.

5) Can I sing? (кэн ай синг?)
Значение: Я могу петь?
Употребление: вопрос с Can в начале.

Натуральные заметки:
- После can и can't глагол ставится без to.
- Для A1 лучше запомнить короткие модели: I can ..., I can't ..., Can I ...?
- Can часто говорит о навыке, а также о простой возможности.

Частые ошибки:
- Неверно: I can to swim.
- Верно: I can swim.
- Неверно: I can sings.
- Верно: I can sing.
- Неверно: Can I to ride a bike?
- Верно: Can I ride a bike?

Мини-практика:
- Вставьте слово: I ___ swim.
- Вставьте слово: I ___ sing.
- Сделайте вопрос: you / ride / a bike
- Переведите на английский: Я умею петь.
