⚡ The "Ability" Pattern

Look at how we talk about what AI can do. In A2 English, we use can to show a skill or a possibility.

From the text:

  • "AI can now do this work faster."
  • "AI can enter data."
  • "AI cannot feel emotions."

How to use it: Subject + can/cannot + Action \rightarrow I can speak English.

Simple Comparison:

  • Positive: AI can answer questions. ✅
  • Negative: AI cannot feel. ❌

Quick Tip: We use "cannot" (or "can't") to show something is impossible. It is the opposite of "can".
