📦 The 'Thing' + 'Price' Pattern

When we talk about buying things, we use a simple structure to tell people the cost. Look at this line from the text:

"Each box costs about 445 dollars."

How to use it: [The Object] \rightarrow costs \rightarrow [The Price]

Examples for your life:

  • The coffee \rightarrow costs \rightarrow 3 dollars.
  • The ticket \rightarrow costs \rightarrow 20 euros.
  • The book \rightarrow costs \rightarrow 15 pounds.

🌍 Where things go (Prepositions)

Notice how the text describes locations:

  • In a plastic box (Inside something)
  • To the USA (Moving towards a place)
  • On top (Positioned above)

Quick Tip: Use 'To' when you are sending or moving something to a new city or country.
