INTRODRUCTION
In this presentation, I'm going to teach some farm and wild animals in
order to my students can learn the use of “can and cannot”.
The
Audio-lingual method was used by immigrants in the second
world war showing excellent outcomes. So that, I select this method to
teach this topic.
Beginning from, several investigations and my own experience I have
noticed that students enjoy learning English Through pictures, images
and sounds. This another reason, why I select this kind of material for
teaching this topic.

Some basic rules for the use of
“can and cannot”
• We use can for
expressing what can
do a person or an
animal in an
affirmative way.
• For example : The cat
can miaow.
• We use cannot for
expressing an action
that an animal or a
person cannot do or
develop.
• For example: the cat
can miaow , but it
cannot bark.
• We must not add s at
the end of verbs in
third person.
• For example the dog
can bark but it cannot
miaow.
The structure of can and cannot.
