How to talk about ability using «can»?
«Can» is a modal verb and has a range of uses. One of those is to talk about general ability. This is something that you have learned in the past and you can now do at any time you want, such as being able to ride a bike, swim or play a musical instrument.
Verbs following «can» take the infinitive form.
Can takes the following forms:
Notes:
This is a high energy lesson which is great fun and allows your students to pick up the structures quickly. Parts of this lesson can be used in other lessons as energy burners (especially the song).
Lesson Procedure:
Warm Up and Maintenance:
New Learning and Practice:
1. Teach the actions vocab
Start with flashcards of the actions in the song (jump, run, swim, hop, stomp my feet, turn around). Have all your students stand up and pull out the first flashcard (e.g. «Jump»). Get the students to do the action as soon as you reveal the card. Shout out the word as you are all doing the action and encourage everyone to shout the word as well. Do this for all 6 cards.
2. Play «Quick flashcard actions»
Lay the flashcards face down on the ground and mix them up. With your students still standing, quickly turn over one 
card for all to see and shout out the action (e.g. jump). Everyone jumps for a second or two. Then turn over another card and shout the action for everyone to do. This should be quick paced with actions changing frequently.
After a few rounds mix the cards up again and pick up one card. This time don’t show it to everyone – look at it yourself and then shout out the word (e.g. «Run!») and see if everyone does the right action. If they are having problems show the card. Do this for all of the cards until everyone is getting the actions right.
3. Play «Teacher Says»
This is the game «Simon Says» but using the word «teacher», or your name, instead. Go straight into the game (no explanations necessary) by saying «Teacher says (jump)». Do the action and make sure everyone else follows along. Do a few more «run, turn around, swim, etc.» Then at some point give a command without the «Teacher says» part (e.g. «Jump!»). First time round, everyone will jump, so make it very clear that they shouldn’t do this when you don’t say «Teacher says». After a while your students will get the hang of it. Play the game faster and faster. When a student makes a mistake they have to sit the rest of the game out. The last student standing is the winner.
You can also ask some students «Can you fly?» – some are bound to say «Yes», but look
shocked and say «No. No I don’t think so.». Next do a few more actions (turn around, hop) and then pull out the «ride a bike» flashcard. Again, say “I can’t ride a bike” and motion trying to but falling off. Then finish with the remaining flashcards (you can choose whether to say you can or can’t swim).
Now, pull out a flashcard (e.g. hop) and say to the class «Can you hop?». Encourage everyone to say, «Yes, I can hop” and show you how. Do this with all of the flashcards – try and encourage some to say they can’t do some actions (e.g. ride a bike, swim and especially fly!).
5. Sing the «What Can You Do?» song
Place the flashcards on the board in order of the song, or pin up the «What Can You Do?» song poster. Play the song and sing along – encourage everyone to sing and do the actions with you. For the first time you use this song, play it a couple of times.
Lyrics for «What Can You Do?»
(Each verse gets faster and faster)
Verse 1:
What can you do? What can you do?
Can you jump? I can jump!
Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump,
jump, jump, jump, I can jump!
Can you run? I can run!
Run, run, run, run, run, run,
run, run, run, I can run!
Verse 2:
What can you do? What can you do?
Can you swim? I can swim!
Swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim,
swim, swim, swim, I can swim!
Can you hop? I can hop!
Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop,
hop, hop, hop, I can hop!
Verse 3:
What can you do? What can you do?
Can you stomp your feet? I can stomp my feet!
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp,
stomp, stomp, stomp, I can stomp my feet!
Can you turn around? I can turn around!
Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn,
turn, turn, turn, I can turn around!
Verse 4:
(Let’s do all six!)
Let’s jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump.
Let’s run, run, run, run, run, run.
Let’s swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim.
Let’s hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop.
Let’s stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp.
Let’s turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn.
Lets jump, run, swim, hop, stomp, turn.
We can!
Gestures for «What Can You Do?»
The actions to this song are simple – simply do each action as they come up in the song. It’s probably best for everyone to do the actions on the spot otherwise things could get a bit hectic!
We also have a video that you can stream in class to sing along with (Internet connection required):
6. Do «Basic Actions Ability» worksheet
To finish off this section of the lesson, give out worksheets which have the vocab from the song. As your students are doing the worksheets, ask questions (e.g. «What is this?», «Can you swim?», etc.).
7. Read classroom reader «I Can»
To finish off this section of the lesson, we’ll read a nice, simple story. Before class, download and print off the reader «I Can». As you go through each page, point to the pictures and elicit each key word, for example:
Get the students really involved in the story by asking lots of questions (e.g. eliciting colors and other objects) and getting them to do the actions in the story.
After reading the story, give out a reader worksheet to each student and have everyone match the animals to the things they can do and write the words. Then go through the answers as a class.
Alternatively, watch our video version of the reader (Internet connection required):
Wrap Up:
1. Assign Homework: «Basic Actions Ability 3» worksheet.

Fortunately, the web is chock full of high-quality ESL worksheets that are totally free. We’ve listed the best here, broken up by category.
ESL Conversation Worksheets
High-quality conversation worksheets touch upon the four pillars of ESL: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Here you’ll find a wide range of topics that will get your classroom chatting. Students will be able to ask well-structured, relevant questions, hold a conversation with one another, and formulate and express their opinions.
Speaking practice is arguably one of the best methods for students to acquire a second language and conversation is a great way to practice speaking the language in a non-intimidating way.
ESL Family Worksheets
The family is the most basic human social unit. Even the youngest learners will have their own well-developed conceptions of the family and, chances are, they’ll be enthusiastic to think and talk about their own in the classroom.
All levels and ages of learners can benefit from practicing family-related vocabulary. Luckily, there are worksheets for all ages and skill levels in this category.
Below, you’ll find beginner-friendly worksheets to introduce vocabulary about family and relatives, as well as advanced worksheets that cover more thought-provoking topics such as conflicts between family members and differences in cultural traditions.
ESL Alphabet Worksheets
Learning the alphabet and the corresponding phonics is one of the most foundational aspects of a young learner’s initial ESL education.
These worksheets are targeted at a younger audience of English language learners, however, included in this list is also some vowel pronunciation practice that is suitable for all ages.
Even a student who has been studying English for years can still struggle with vowel pronunciation, often confusing once vowel sound with another, similar one. Revisiting the fundamentals of the alphabet can help.
The younger crowd will also benefit from these fun activities, which not only introduce them to the alphabet but increase their vocabulary as well.
ESL Reading Worksheets
The ESL worksheets below offer a great opportunity to reinforce lessons, evaluate comprehension, and work together to answer the questions (for example, you can have the students take turns reading and then pose each question or exercise to the entire class).
You can tailor your reading material to meet the current lesson content and/or interests of your students. If you already have a story or book you’re working with, feel free to adapt these worksheets to fit by modifying the questions, wording, or exercises.
ESL Grammar Worksheets
Because English grammatical structure is dramatically different compared to the grammar of other languages (especially those from totally foreign linguistic families such as East Asian tongues), ESL students often struggle with mastering this aspect of English.
These grammar worksheets are a great way to get creative with how you reinforce your lessons. Veteran teachers might find it valuable to adjust these to fit their own classes while less-experienced educators may find it more useful to rely on these as the main focal point of their lesson.
ESL Pronunciation Worksheets
Depending on your students’ level of skill, the following ESL worksheets can really help reinforce your pronunciation and phonetics lessons ( as can these pronunciation exercises ).
When you use these worksheets optimally as a teacher, you are able to not only demonstrate the correct sound but also how it will look on paper in a word or phrase.
Usually English phonetic sounds — even vowels and their combinations – have recurring patterns that, once identified and retained through practice, make bridging the gap between written and verbal word much easier.
These worksheets are more interactive than some of the others. In the past, I’ve taken one of these worksheets and transferred some or most of it onto the board – this not only encouraged the class to work together in sounding out the words, but made it easy to understand how to do the rest of the tasks in the worksheet on their own.
ESL Preposition Worksheets
Like other challenging aspects of English, other languages often lack prepositions. This makes acquiring native-level understanding of the structural form and function of prepositional phrases difficult. Proper preposition use into flowing conversation is even more challenging.
I’ve found preposition worksheets to be invaluable in driving home the correct use of prepositions. The simplicity of most sheets means they aren’t so intimidating to students. They are also easy to do on their own as they often only require filling out or circling one word or phrase.
ESL Worksheets for Beginners
For students young and old, beginner ESL worksheets are an important tool for drilling home the basics. They should be both easy to understand and engaging enough to command and hold attention.
Even among the most thorough and time-thrifty instructors, the beginner level is where ESL teachers tend to become over-reliant on worksheets. Don’t make this mistake. The best rule of thumb in this regard is to keep worksheets as tools of review rather than the main “bread and butter” of the lesson.
Feel free to borrow aspects of these worksheets that work, adjust those that don’t, and try to not lean too heavily on them at the risk of frustrating your beginner students.
ESL Worksheets for Adults
Regardless of skill level, most adult students will expect a bit more depth from their ESL worksheets than young learners. With that in mind, we have included some more adult topics like idioms, parties, and a science story.
The best adult lesson plans utilize these worksheets as part of the journey instead of the destination. Accordingly, work to incorporate them into your lesson and see if they might spur additional conversation or activities or lend greater context to the lesson.
For some of these ESL worksheets, such as the one covering speed dating and party expressions, think of them as a way to “spice up” your lesson and get some creative interaction going.
ESL Worksheets for Kids
ESL worksheets are effective natural fits for kids’ lesson plans. Chances are high that your primary-level students are already well-accustomed to worksheet activities by the time you get them in your class. And, if the worksheets are high-quality, they will engage kids’ attention to the material at hand.
As with other age groups, ESL worksheets for kids should never be the focal point of your lesson – their attention spans are too short and how their learning styles are too varied to rely entirely on a worksheet.
Instead, use these worksheets during the last few minutes of your class or as homework (depending on their level) primarily as reinforcement mechanisms to maximize your students’ retention of the material.
On the web, you can find free age-appropriate ESL worksheets for kids on virtually any topic. Here is a small sampling of a wide array of subjects.
ESL Vocabulary Worksheets
When it comes to retaining English vocabulary, the key to success is repetition. Only after continual practice using a term or phrase will it become permanently etched in the mind of the learner for fluid recall in everyday conversation.
In that pursuit, ESL worksheets are crucial when looking to reinforce new vocabulary or practice old lessons – the beauty of these sheets is that they can be edited to fit any lesson with minimal effort.
Consider having your students work together on a sheet and play around with pairing stronger speakers with weaker ones to see how it works – these worksheets aren’t too intensive and are great for partner exercises.
ESL Writing Worksheets
English writing is a tough skill to learn (and to teach) effectively. Nonetheless, mastering writing, even as a non-native learner, is possible. Expertise in writing should be one of the long-term ultimate goals of any language training program.
These writing worksheets are aimed at making this essential skill easier (or at least more fun).
Before handing out these ESL worksheets, I’d recommend practicing a few examples on the board (you can even make a game out of it) to ensure everyone understands the instructions.
Rather than relying on these worksheets alone, instead incorporate them into your lesson to practice and reinforce the aspect of English writing that is the focus of your overall lesson.
ESL Past Tense Worksheets
Mastering the foundational aspects of English, such as switching between tenses, is a challenge because of the language’s unique grammatical structure.
In fact, many of your students may not be used to conjugating verbs at all – it’s entirely possible that their native language does not require altering the form of the verb to match the tense at all.
Given the unique challenge of tenses in ESL learning, one of the strategies to help your students should include practice, practice, practice. Worksheets are a great way to drill home verb conjugation. Here are some of the best.
ESL Money Worksheets
Financial literacy education – such as how to manage money wisely and how to convert currencies, for example — is an essential (and, all too often) overlooked subject that has real-world benefits. You can give your students a head start in their financial literacy with hearty helpings of economic education.
Add these handy worksheets to your lesson plans on money.
ESL Clothes Worksheet
Virtually everywhere in the world, fashion is likely to be an area of intense interest for a large subset of your students – especially among adolescent and young adult learners.
As such, teachers often find that lesson plans (when they are well-developed) that center around fashion and clothes elicit the most engagement and participation from their students.
Here are some of the top ESL clothes worksheets to include in your clothing lesson plan.
ESL Food Worksheets
If Anthony Bourdain and other culinary-anthropological entrepreneurs have taught us anything with their world eating tours, the central takeaway is that food is a universally relatable subject that is central to our identities and even to our basic survival.
Everyone understands food as an important, fundamental subject. In many ways, we orient ourselves in the world and within our societies by the foods and meals that we share. This is why ESL education focused on food can be so effective for learners of all ages.
Here is a sampling of the best ESL food worksheets.
