⚡ The "Can" Power-Up

In this text, we see the word can used many times. This is the easiest way to talk about abilities (things you are able to do).

How it works: Subject + can + action verb

Examples from the text:

  • It can read your emails. \rightarrow (The AI is able to read)
  • It can see your screen. \rightarrow (The AI is able to see)
  • You can fix photos. \rightarrow (You are able to fix)

💡 Quick Rule: Notice that we don't say "can to read" or "cans read." It is always just can + action.

Compare:

  • Slow: The phones are slow. (Description)
  • Fast: The phones can go fast. (Ability)
