🚦 Making Things Simple: 'Can' and 'Do'

In the story, we see two ways to talk about what is possible or what people feel.

1. Ability (What is possible) We use can to show the app's power:

  • "You can talk to the app"
  • "You can make the app talk less"

Pattern: You + can + action \rightarrow You can drive.


2. Feelings/Opinions When someone feels a certain way, we use do not (don't) for negatives:

  • "Some people do not like the app voice"

Pattern: People + do not + like \rightarrow I do not like rain.


Quick Word Swap Instead of saying "big roads," the text uses highways.

  • Highway \rightarrow A very fast, big road.
