Lesson 2D - part 2

I can tell how (well) I can do something

Previous lesson...

We talked about the verb can. Let's do a quick test to see if you still remember how to use that verb.

Translate the following sentence:
Ik kan dansen.

Translate the following sentence:
Hij kan niet komen.

Translate the following sentence:
Zij kan zingen.

Translate the following sentence:
Wij kunnen niet rennen.

Translate the following sentence:
Kunnen zij gitaar spelen? (play the guitar).

Remember:

Bevestigend:

can + hele werkwoord (I can dance.)

Ontkennend:

can't / cannot + hele werkwoord (You can't dance.)

Vragend:

Can + onderwerp + hele werkwoord (Can they dance?)

Today...

We are going to talk about adverbs (bijwoorden). What are they and what do they do?

What are the six adverbs of frequency we learned in lesson 2B?

Adverbs of frequency

Words that tell how us how often something happens:

always

usually

often

sometimes

hardly ever

never

Adverbs:

He can dance beautifully.

She sings badly.

You can answer this question easily.

My father always drives carefully.

Adverbs:

He can dance beautifully.

She sings badly.

You can answer this question easily.

My father always drives carefully.

We often put -ly at the end of the word. So: bad > badly

But:

He always drives fast.

I always get up late.

She can sing well (=good).

You have to study hard for this test.

These words are different! Study them by heart :)
