A New Intern: Paola Meets Polly
First question about "to be able to" , and "could no"t and "can't." I am sorry but in your correction, you ask the pupil to correct your error. When you write : "<span class="explain"></span> 'Luna doesn't know how to swim' expresses that Luna never learned how to swim. However, in the context of Polly's question she is not asking Kevin if Luna ever learned how to swim. Polly is asking Kevin why Luna 'wasn't able to' swim or what 'prevented Luna from swimming'. So you mean exactly in your text that you should have invert your "was not able to" and your "can't even swim" It's not fair
