🌡️ Describing the World

To move to A2, you need to describe how something is. We use Adjectives (describing words) before the Noun (the thing).

Look at these pairs from the text:

$\text{hot}$ $\rightarrow$ $\text{weather}$
$\text{dangerous}$ $\rightarrow$ $\text{storms}$
$\text{strong}$ $\rightarrow$ $\text{winds}$
$\text{big}$ $\rightarrow$ $\text{hail}$
$\text{cold}$ $\rightarrow$ $\text{rooms}$

The Rule: [Describing Word] + [Thing]

Example: Instead of saying "The weather is hot," you can say "The hot weather is dangerous."

🆘 Giving Advice

When we tell someone what is good for them, we use Should.

You should drink water.
You should rest.

Pattern: $\text{You should} ightarrow ext{action}$
