💡 Focus: Describing People & Feelings

In the text, we see how to describe someone's personality or a group's emotion using simple words. This is key for A2 level communication.

1. Describing a Person Instead of complex words, use a basic adjective after "was" or "is":

  • He was a mean man.
  • Mean → Not kind / Unfriendly.

2. Expressing Group Emotions When talking about a group of people (like newspapers or leaders), we use the verb to be + adjective:

  • Iranian newspapers are happy.
  • Some people are worried.

3. The Logic of "Want" To talk about a goal or a wish, use: Subject + want(s) + to + action.

  • He wanted to remove the leaders.
  • They want a police investigation.
