Period 3 Objectives: To learn modal verbs can, may and must To tell different signs and rules Preparation SB 8B, pages 55 and 56 Photocopiable page 3 Teaching procedure Pre-reading preparation A Can and cannot We use can and cannot (can’t) to say we are able or not able to do things Tell the students that can and can’t are words we use to show our abilities. Can has the same meaning as be+able to (e.g., Superman can fly in the sky. Superman is able to fly in the sky.). Explain that can’t is the short form of cannot.
