Lesson 111👩‍🏫 Basic English with Jennifer - CAN and COULD for Ability

[@kevinvalbuena4954]

Thanks a lot Jennifer

[@Englishwithjennifer]

You're welcome!

[@TeacherElo]

Great lesson Jennifer! I like that you explained the differences in the pronunciation of can / can't. For more advanced students, they may be able to add more information to clarify the negative, like "No, I can't, but I can ride a skateboard."

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Thanks for visiting my channel. Good additional note!

@@Englishwithjennifer Thanks Jennifer. My students and I love your lessons.

Hello Jennifer! Good to see you and your students! Each of your lessons gives me new info and a better understanding of English. Thank you very, very much! BTW, when I was a child, I could do several things at once. Now I can do only two items simultaneously:) Stay safe, Jennifer!

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Thank you for watching and liking the lesson, Sergei! 😃 I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes, kids tend to be more relaxed and less worried in general, so maybe that's why a healthy kid is able to do more than us stressed, tired adults. Ha ha.

This is really good The past for can is could You negate with can't And not with shan't I hope that's understood

[@Englishwithjennifer]

We limited our focus and practice in this session. It made things easier. "Can" vs. "be able to" would be an interesting topic down the line. More modals coming soon! By the way, how often do you really use "shan't"?

[@stunninglad1]

@@Englishwithjennifer Can you help me? Could you help me? - 'Could' not just a past tense as you know. 'Being able to' was also the definition I gave for 'can' in my lesson. 'Shan't' is not as popular as 'won't.' You shall continue with modals; but I shan't. I've milked that subject for all it's worth. Pronouns are next for me. As you know, there are a walloping ten categories to cover. With more types of pronouns than we can shake a stick at, I shall be kept busy.

[@Englishwithjennifer]

So you shall! And so shall I! (I think that meets my quota for "shall" within a calendar year.)

[@PradeepKumar-fq7fz]

Hi mam, wouldn't want vs don't want differnce please and when exactly we use these two please let me know mam Thanking you in advance

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Wouldn't = hypothetical: I wouldn't want to be stuck in a traffic jam for three hours on a hot day. Don't = real, likely: I don't want to be stuck in traffic, so I'll wait to drive into the city.

Hello teacher Jennifer... Good practice of modal verb can and its past form, BTW what's french braids called in Spanish? Please say Hi to Andrea and Flavia. PS. ❤️❤️❤️a heart for each of You.

Thank you for the hearts! 😃 I wonder what they call that kind of braid in France. Maybe it's just us Americans who call it a French braid!

You can post a short language question here. I also have a live Q&A session on Hallo every Wednesday. Look for announcements on the Community Tab.

[@md_ez]

​@@Englishwithjennifer Thank you a lot. How can I distinguish between gerund phrase and present participle phrase ?

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Gerunds behave like nouns (subject, object, complement). Participles can be part of a progressive verb, they can be part of a reduced clause, and they can function like adjectives.
