Units 10 and 11: Amazing abilities and talents

In class last week, we talked a little about things we can do vs. things we could do.

Remember, "could" is used in two ways in English:

1) "Could" means future possibility.

"Could I borrow your phone?"
"When I finish university, I could become a teacher."

2) "Could" also means past ability.

"Could you play piano when you were a kid?"
"They could sing beautifully when they weren't tired."

It is important to pay attention to the other verbs in the sentence to understand which meaning could has!

_________________________________________________________________

This week, I want to know what you think about your major at university.



Are you learning how to do things you couldn't do before now?
What could you use your knowledge for?
Do you know what classes you would like to take next semester?

Please write at least 50 words for your response, and post it here before class starts this week. I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

  1. My major is Youth Education & Counseling. Psychology is my major subject. I usually lost in thought and I think a lot of anything. I couldn't my thoughts together before, but now I could deal with my thinking based on psychology. I interested in foreign language. Next semester, I will take a English course.
