The document provides an introduction to using modal verbs in conversations, using "can" as an example. It includes sample dialogues between two people, A and B, making plans to go to the movies together. They discuss whether each person can go, what time one person can call the other, and who can choose the movie. Vocabulary words that appear in the conversations are then defined in English.
