Modals of Ability – Past
Grammar Practice Worksheets
Low Int
Teens & Adults
Grades 6–12
In this lesson, students learn how to use could and couldn’t to describe their past abilities. Students will also demonstrate their understanding of when to use present and past modals of ability in context.
We recommend teaching this lesson after our Modals of Ability – Present lesson. Note that the images and activities in both lessons are similar so that the vocabulary is familiar for low-level learners.
