Adjectives and Adverbs
- My dog is slow.

Adverbs describe verbs (actions).

For adjectives that end in -l or -e, we simply add -ly:
Special - specially
nice - nicely
Adverbs ending in -Y
For adjectives that end in -y, we remove the -y and add -ily:| crazy - | crazily |
| happy - | happily |
Using Can and Cannot
Can is used to express ability or to say that something is possible.
Can is the same for all subjects. We don't add an 'S' in the third person (like other verbs)
The verb that comes after Can is in the infinitive without to:
- I can speak Mandarin. (= it is possible for me to speak Mandarin = I have the ability to speak Mandarin)
- He can swim well.
- We can see my neighbour in the garden.
- They can play the guitar.
Negative
To form the negative we add "not" after can to form one word: cannot.We can also contract the negative to form can't. (can't = cannot)
- I cannot play the piano. We can't go to the cinema tonight.
- She cannot speak French very well. He can't drive a car.
Questions
To form the question we change the position of the subject and the auxiliary verb.The main verb is still in the infinitive without to.
- Where can I buy an ice-cream?
- Can I go to the party, please?
- Can you speak Japanese?
- What can we do on Saturday?
- Can I sit here please? Yes, you can.
- Can you speak Chinese? No, I can't.
Impersonal Can
Sometimes You can and Can you…? are impersonal and refer to people in general.- You can see many stars at night from here. (= people in general can see many stars)
