💡 Focus: The Power of 'CAN'

In the text, we see the word can used many times. For A2 learners, this is the best way to talk about possibility and ability.

How it works: It is very simple because it never changes, no matter who is doing the action.

  • AI can help... (It is possible)
  • Anyone can make... (They have the ability)

The Opposite: To say something is impossible, we use cannot or can't.

Quick Comparison:

  • Before: Only experts could do this. (Past)
  • Now: AI can make it easy. (Present)

🧬 Vocabulary Bridge

Notice how the text connects a person/thing to an action:

Companies →\rightarrow want →\rightarrow laws AI →\rightarrow makes →\rightarrow easy

Tip: To reach A2, stop translating word-for-word. Look for the 'action' (the verb) that connects the two ideas.
