The Magic of "CAN"

In this story, we see the word can used many times. At A2 level, you need to know that can is used for ability (what is possible).

Examples from the text:

  • "computers cannot run Windows 11" \rightarrow Not possible.
  • "users can pay 30 dollars" \rightarrow It is possible to do this.
  • "users can stay safe" \rightarrow This is a possible result.

Money Words: Pay vs Get

Notice how the text describes getting things:

  1. Pay \rightarrow You give money to someone. (Example: Companies pay 61 dollars)

  2. Get \rightarrow You receive something. (Example: Some users get updates for free)

Quick Tip: If it is "for free," you do not need to pay.
