UNIT 7. PAST ABILITIES (COULD/COULDN´T)


We use can and can´t to talk about the ability or skill to do something at a specific time in the present or future:
I can write in English.
She can´t play the piano.

We use could when we want to talk about abilities in the past.
could read when I was 5.
We use couldn´t to describe things that we were not able to do in the past.
couldn´t write in English when I was 5.

Look at the poster and check the different stages in the girl´s life.
She could ride when she was 14.
She could use a computer when she was 12. What about you?
