Dear Teachers,

1. Can you count from 1 to 2000 by English?
2. Can you say �I love you� by Chinese?
3. Can you play jigsaw puzzle?
4. Can you do push-ups / do press-ups by one hand?

- Are 1, 2, 3 and 4 natural?

Thanks a lot to Teachers,

Stevenukd.

1. Can you count from 1 to 2000 by English?
Say, "Can you count from 1 to 2000 in English?"

2. Can you say �I love you� by Chinese?
"Can you say, 'I love you' in Chinese?"

3. Can you play jigsaw puzzle?
We don't play jigsaw puzzles, we work them or work on them. More natural might be, "Do you like to work jigsaw puzzles?"

4. Can you do push-ups / do press-ups by one hand?
"Can you do push-ups with one hand?"
"Can you do one-handed push-ups?"
