Welcome to the “Week 5 Podcast” on some essential English language skills. 


Today, we'll talk about telling the time in English, the modal CAN/CAN'T, and the Present Tense of different verbs in all forms.


To start, let's learn how to tell the time in English. We use "o'clock" when the time is exact like "It's five o'clock". We say "quarter past" or "quarter to" when the minutes are 15 or 45 and "half past" when the minutes are 30. For example, "It's a quarter past two" or "It's half past six".


Moving on, let's talk about the modal "can/can't." We use this to talk about abilities. For example, "I can ride horses" or "He can't speak Chinese".


Finally, the Present Tense of different verbs in all forms. Verbs change in different ways depending on the person, whether it's "I", "You", "He/She/It", "We", or "They". Let's take the verb "to run" as an example. I run, You run, He/She/It runs, We run, They run. 


Make sure you have a good understanding of basic verbs in Present Tense, as they are essential for English language proficiency.


That's it for today. I hope you found this podcast helpful. Thanks for listening!
