  1. Ms ang,for question 33,why must we change the 'want to' to 'can'? How do we know when to change to 'can' when we face such a question ?

  2. Hi anonymous, we basically look at the sentence structure first. In this case, it is logical that you must "do something" before you can proceed to the next step. Not because you want to proceed. The keyword here will be "before". You will know when the first step (open a letter) is a necessary step before you can apply the next step (read it).

    For eg. You must prepare the ingredients before you can cook your meal.
