💡 The Power of "Both"
In the text, we see: "Frida is both a great artist and a famous brand."
When you want to say a person or thing has two different qualities at the same time, use this simple pattern:
[Subject] + is + both + [Thing 1] + and + [Thing 2]
See how it works:
- The city is both big and noisy. (It is big. It is also noisy.)
- The book is both old and expensive. (It is old. It is also expensive.)
- English is both hard and fun. (It is hard. It is also fun.)
Why use this? It is a faster way to give information than making two separate sentences. It makes your English sound more natural as you move toward A2 level.
