Vocabulary Learning
🏀 The 'Ability' Logic
In the text, we see a pattern for things people can or cannot do. This is a key building block for A2 English.
1. The Positive (Yes)
- "players who can shoot well"
- Meaning: They have the skill.
- Pattern: Person + can + action.
2. The Negative (No)
- "He cannot come now"
- Meaning: It is impossible for him.
- Pattern: Person + cannot + action.
Quick Vocabulary Shift
Look at how the text talks about the future:
- "will join" → Something that happens later.
- "will not play" → Something that will NOT happen later.
Simple Rule: Can/Cannot = Ability (Right now) Will/Will not = Future plan.
