2. Lesson 9 In this lesson we are going to study: Imperative Can
and can't Abilities 3. Imperative Form "Stop!," "Come here!," and
"Look out!" are all examples of the imperative form. You can use
the imperative form to give an order, a warning, or some advice. 4.
Imperative Form To form the imperative, use the infinitive form of
the verb without "to." To make a negative imperative, put "do not"
or "don't" in front of the verb, as in, "Don't touch that!" 5.
Imperative Form The imperative is formed the same for all subjects
(you, he, we, they), but you can include yourself in the imperative
by adding "Let's," as in, "Let's go for a swim." 6. Imperative Form
If you want to be more polite when using an imperative, just add
"please." For example, "Please leave me alone. I'm trying to learn
English!" 7. Can and Can't The verb can means you are able to do
something: - I can beat you 8. Can and Can't To turn the sentence
into the negative form you just need to add NOT: - I can not
(cannot, can't) beat you 9. Can and Can't To turn the sentence into
the interrogative form you just need to switch the words, the CAN
goes before the subject: - Can I beat you? 10. Could To turn the
sentence into the Past you must use could. - You could be better
than you are. 11. What can YOU do? 12. Exercise Write a text
