Open the URA of Lesson 3 · III PAC

The URA has the explanation, audio, examples by career and the Cultural Corner of the III PAC. Take notes: you will use them in the forum.

Rules: can / can't / must / mustn't

You can = it's OK. You can't / mustn't = it's not OK. You must = it's necessary. Signs often use imperatives: Stop. Don't cross.

SignMeaning
STOPYou must stop.
NO PARKINGYou can't park here.
LOOK RIGHTLook right before you cross.
CYCLE LANEYou can ride a bike here.
En español

«Must» = obligación; «mustn't» = prohibición. En el Reino Unido se maneja por la izquierda: al cruzar, mira primero a la derecha («Look right»).

Your AI assistants: SofIA

Recommended for this lesson: SofIA Léxica, about signs, rules with can / can't / must / mustn't and imperatives. SofIA asks your name, your career and your lesson, then helps you step by step.
