👁️ The 'Can' Connection

In this story, we see a pattern with the word can. We use it to talk about what is possible.

Look at these opposites:

  • Coaches cannot see the players. (Impossible ❌)
  • Coaches want to look at players. (Desire ❤️)

How to build it: Personcan / cannotAction

Example:

  • "The players cannot see the coaches."
  • "FIFA will change the rules" (This is about the future!)

📍 Where things are

Notice how the text describes space. This is a key A2 skill:

  • Near \rightarrow Close to something.
  • Too close \rightarrow This is a problem (more than okay).

Quick Tip: Use "too" before an adjective to show a negative feeling. Too close = Bad. Too loud = Bad.
