Introduction

Amazon has a new AI tool called Alexa for Shopping. It helps people buy things more easily.

Main Body

Alexa for Shopping is a new tool. It can find products and buy them for you. It can even buy things from other stores. Some other stores do not like this. You can use this tool on the Amazon website and phone app. You can also use it on Echo Show screens. Now you can touch the screen or speak to it. Amazon is also thinking about new devices. They do not want to make a normal phone right now. They want to make new types of devices that make money for the company.

Conclusion

Amazon now has one big AI tool for shopping. They are still deciding what new devices to make.

⚑ The 'Can' Power-Up

In the text, we see a simple word that does a lot of work: can. At the A2 level, this is your best tool to describe what a person or a machine is able to do.

How it works in the text:

  • "It can find products..."
  • "It can even buy things..."
  • "You can use this tool..."
  • "You can touch the screen..."

The Pattern 🧩 Person/Thing β†’ can β†’ Action (Simple Verb)

Example:

  • Amazon tool β†’ can β†’ buy
  • I β†’ can β†’ speak
  • You β†’ can β†’ touch

Quick Tip: Notice that the action word (buy, find, touch) stays in its simplest form. No "-ing", no "-s", no "-ed". Just the base word.

Contrast:

  • Normal: Amazon makes shopping easier.
  • With 'Can': Amazon can make shopping easier. (This adds the idea of 'ability').
