Likes, abilities and invitations
Use can + a verb for an ability: I can draw. Use cannot or can’t when you cannot do it. Say I like drawing or I like to draw for an activity you enjoy. Invite a friend with Would you like to come? Say Yes, please or Sorry, I can’t, then give a simple reason.
- I can swim, but I cannot play chess.
- I like reading in my free time.
- Would you like to join us on Saturday?
Use: She can draw. · Instead of: She can draws.
Use the basic verb after can, even with she.
Use: I like playing chess. · Instead of: I like play chess.
Use like + playing, or say I like to play chess.
Make can and cannot clear in the whole message.
Say the activity clearly. If a listener is not sure, repeat with I can or I cannot. Do not depend only on the final sound of can’t.
- I can draw.
- I cannot swim.
- Can you play chess?
- Yes, I can.

Speak
P08-S2 · Introduce a new group member
Tell your partner about an invented new member. Give a favourite activity, an ability, a difficulty and one free time.
You are introducing Eli. Eli likes taking photos, can use a camera and cannot swim. Eli is free on Sunday afternoons. Eli has a small camera. Use Eli’s name or they.
- Read your card and choose four short notes.
- Speak without reading a full model. Your partner writes the four facts.
- Answer the partner’s new question and check their notes.
Partner only · open on a separate screen or after the attempt
You help welcome Eli. Do not read the learner card. Listen for an interest, an ability, a difficulty and a free time. Ask: Does Eli have a camera? Read your four notes back to check them.
Studying alone
Solo rehearsal. Tell me about Eli. What does Eli like? What can Eli do? What can Eli not do? When is Eli free? Does Eli have a camera?
This is rehearsal. Use a real partner to observe two-way interaction.

Write

Write to Kai. Invite Kai to play table tennis on Sunday at 4:00 at Green Hall. It costs £2. Ask if Kai can come. About 25–45 words is a guide.
- Write without the model.
- Ask a reader to find the activity, day/time, place and price.
- Check your invitation ends with a clear question. Rewrite it if needed.
Your first saved draft is kept for comparison.
- I invited Kai to table tennis.
- I gave Sunday at 4:00.
- I gave Green Hall and £2.

One possible response · after your attempt

The tool stores your work. A reader uses the checklist to review it.
After · return on days 1, 3 and 7
Day 1
Close the examples. Say two things you can do and one thing you cannot do. Use real or invented facts. Ask a listener to repeat the three activities.
One possible answer
Example: I can draw. I can play football. I cannot swim. Other truthful or invented abilities are fine; the listener should identify all three.
Day 3
New club card: Board games, Tuesday 17:00, room 6, free. You are free then. Write a two-sentence invitation to Jo with the day, time, room and activity.
One possible answer
Example: Would you like to play board games on Tuesday at 17:00? It is free, in room 6.
Day 7
Plan with a partner. You are free Friday after 18:00 and Sunday at 9:00. Ask the partner to choose different free times privately. Find one shared time, or say there is no shared time and ask about another day.
One possible answer
A successful exchange checks both schedules and confirms a real shared time. If the cards do not overlap, say so and ask about another day; do not invent agreement.
Check your outcomes
- I can choose an activity using its time and cost.
- My partner can identify something I can do and something I like.
- My invitation and reply lead to a clear agreed day, time and place.
Need more practice? Match each activity to its day and cost in P08-R1. Listen to P08-L2 again and write only the final plan. Retry P08-L2-Q02 and P08-U-Q04.
Ready? In P09, use a short message to explain what is happening now when a plan needs to change.
