🌍 Describing People and Places

To move from A1 to A2, you need to describe how things are. Look at these simple pairs from the text:

  • The feeling \rightarrow Happy / Sad
  • The person \rightarrow Kind
  • The place \rightarrow Great / Diverse

The Pattern: [Thing] + is/are + [Description]

Instead of just saying "The city," we add a word to describe it:

  • The USA is a great place.
  • People were very kind.
  • The world is very diverse.

Pro Tip: Use "very" to make the description stronger.

  • Kind \rightarrow Very kind
  • Happy \rightarrow Very happy
