Modal Verb «can» and could/will be able to

Модальный глагол «can» и его формы could/will be able to

Модальный глагол (модальный значит «выражающий отношение к действию») can переводится как «мочь, уметь». Не требует после себя частицы «to». При построении вопросительного и отрицательного предложения используется как вспомогательный глагол.

He can drive very well.

Can he drive very well?

Who can drive very well?

He can’t drive very well.

Для выражения действия в прошедшем времени используется форма «could» – «мог, умел». Эта форма имеет те же особенности употребления, что и «can».

A practical class

Jean is a teacher in California. Josh is one of his students. Jean teaches the students how to fix cars.

His programme is a practical course. They teach people from sixteen through adults.

The courses are located on a High School campus. The programme is vocational because they train people specific skills which they can use in their job.

Josh likes these classes very much because they give real knowledge. They don’t have any textbooks. They just listen and look and then, start their projects.
