Yesterday all the students read their dialogues in a shop. And they were all well done. Now students are quite familiar with expressions like:

Can I help you?

How much is it? (A book, a particular thing.)

How much are they? (those markers, those notebooks)

Here you are.

Can I have ...( a pen, some paper clips, etc.)?


Later we started a new unit. In this new unit we learn words and expressions we can use in the classroom. All those words and expressions have a verb. And here are the most important verbs for the classroom:

Look
Listen
Say
Ask
Answer
Mean
Go
Get
Give
Read
Write
Open
Close
Put
Understand

We studied how to make the imperative form of the verb, so we can give instructions or directions and we can understand them.
It is very easy:

Positive
Ask a question.
Look at the board.
Open the door.

Negative
Don't ( Do not) read the words.
Don't ( Do not) close the window.
Don't ( Do not) put the paper in your folder.

To make a request we can use a more polite form:

Can you open the window, please?
Can you answer my question,please?

We use the same verb, can, to ask for something and to ask for permission:

Can I go to the toilet?
Can I get a glass of water?

HOMEWORK

Give 10 directions. Use the imperative form of the verb in positive and negative sentences.

Write 5 questions using can as in the examples above.
