Preview: Explanations

1."Could"(b)

We ask about past ability using 'Could'. 'When you were five years old' signals past time. 'Could you swim when you were five years old?'

2."Can"(d)

'Can I...?' is a common way to ask for permission in informal situations. 'Can I borrow your pen for a moment?'

3."Are"(a)

'Be going to' needs the correct form of 'be'. 'They' takes 'Are'. 'Are they going to move to a new house next month?'

4."can't"(d)

The question uses 'Can...?', so the negative short answer is 'No, she can't.' Match the modal: can → can't.

5."Will"(b)

'Tomorrow morning' signals future, and the speaker needs to confirm a commitment. 'Will you be at the meeting tomorrow morning?'
