⚾ The 'Ability' Secret

In the text, we see: "He can hit the ball and pitch."

When you want to say someone is able to do something, use CAN.

How to use it: Person \rightarrow can \rightarrow Action

  • He \rightarrow can \rightarrow hit
  • I \rightarrow can \rightarrow play
  • They \rightarrow can \rightarrow win

⏳ Then vs. Now

Look at how the story moves from the past to the present:

Past (Finished) \rightarrow He was a good player. Present (Now) \rightarrow The team has a new player.

Quick Tip: Use WAS for one person in the past. Use HAS when someone owns or possesses something right now.
