What’s the difference between “can” and “don’t have to”?

Can is when we are talking about things we can do, if you want to.

For example, you can eat and drink in the cinema if you want to.

Or I can go for as run tonight if I feel like it.

Don’t have to is used when we don’t have to do something if we don’t have to.

For example, you don’t have to buy me a birthday present if you don’t want to.

Or, I don’t have to cook tonight, I can order pizza instead.

What can you do this weekend if you don’t have to work?

Comments below please.

Can.

Don’t have to.

Thank you.

Bye!

What’s the difference between the first conditional and the second conditional?

First conditional is used when we are talking about real, possible situations.

For example, if it rains, I will get wet. Or I will watch a movie tonight if I finish my work in time.

We use “if” and “will” with the first conditional.

Second conditional is used when we are talking about unreal, impossible situations.

For example, if I were a bird I would fly to Okinawa.

Or I would buy a Ferrari if I won the lottery.

We use “if” and “would” with the second conditional.

If you won the lottery, what would you buy?

Comments below please.

First conditional.

Second conditional.

Thank you bye.
