Goals

At the end of this lesson...

• I know how to use can/could, be allowed to, be able to

Can / could / able to / allowed to

4 manieren:

• Mogelijkheid
• Iets wat je kunt
• Toestemming
• Beleefde vraag

can	could	be able to	be allowed to
= kunnen / mogen = present simple	= zou kunnen, verleden tijd van can , beleefd vragen = present + past simple	= kunnen / in staat zijn = alle tijden (vooral future > will be able to)	= mogen / toestemming vragen of hebben = alle tijden (vooral future > will be allowed to)
