Learn the correct way to use “can” in sentences. Practice simple grammar rules and improve your English speaking skills.

Master the correct usage of “can” with base verbs. This lesson simplifies English grammar for confident speaking and writing.

Using “can” correctly in English is essential for clear communication. One common mistake is adding “to” after “can,” such as saying, “She can to swim.” This lesson will help you fix this error and speak more naturally.

The rule is simple: after “can,” always use the base verb without “to.” For example:
• Correct: “She can swim very well.”
• Incorrect: “She can to swim very well.”

In this video, Dave and Grace discuss swimming skills, demonstrating proper usage. Grace initially says, “She can to swim,” but Jim corrects her, reminding her to drop “to” after “can.” Grace practices alternatives like:
• “Yes, she’s a strong swimmer.”
• “Yes, she swims very well.”

By the end, you’ll know how to use “can” effectively in any conversation. Watch the video and practice these examples to perfect your grammar skills!
