Auxiliary Verbs with Adverbs of Degree Unit VI Auxiliary Verbs with Adverbs of Degree

Auxiliary Verbs Auxiliary Verbs are the verbs be, do, have, will when they are followed by another verb (the full verb) in order to form a question, a negative sentence, a compound tense or the passive. In this lesson we will focus our attention in the particular uses of the aux Can, Could and Be Able To.

Auxiliary Verb Can Can is an auxiliary verb, a modal auxiliary verb. We use can to: • talk about possibility and ability • make requests • ask for or give permission Structure of can The basic structure for can is as follows:

The main verb is always the bare infinitive (infinitive without to). Notice that: • Can is invariable. There is only one form: can • The main verb is always the bare infinitive.

Uses of “Can” Can for possibility and ability: We use can to talk about what is possible, what we are able or free to do: • She can drive a car. • John can speak Spanish. • I cannot hear you. (I can't hear you.) • Can you hear me? Normally, we use can for the present. But it is possible to use can when we make present decisions about future ability. A) Can you help me with my homework? (present) B) Sorry. I'm busy today. But I can help you tomorrow. (future)

Can for requests and orders: We often use can in a question to ask somebody to do something. This is not a real question, we do not really want to know if the person is able to do something, we want them to do it! The use of can in this way is informal (mainly between friends and family): • Can you make a cup of coffee, please. • Can you put the TV on. • Can you come here a minute. • Can you be quiet! Can for permission: We sometimes use can to ask or give permission for something: A Can I play in this room? B You can't play here, but you can play in the yard. (Note that we also use could, may, might for permission. The use of can for permission is informal.)

Auxiliary Verb Could Could is an auxiliary verb, a modal auxiliary verb. We use could to: • talk about past possibility or ability • make requests

Uses of Could We use could to talk about what was possible in the past, what we were able or free to do: • I could swim when I was 5 years old. • My grandmother could speak seven languages. • When we arrived home, we could not open the door. (...couldn't open the door.) • Could you understand what he was saying? We use I (positive) and couldn't (negative) for general ability in the past. But when we talk about one special occasion in the past, we use be able to (positive) and couldn't (negative). Look at these examples:

The basic structure for be able to is: Although we look at be able to here, it is not a modal verb. It is simply the verb be plus an adjective (able) followed by the infinitive. We look at be able to here because we sometimes use it instead of can and could. We use be able to: • to talk about ability Structure of be able to The basic structure for be able to is:
