🛠️ Word Power: 'Law' vs 'Legal'
In this story, we see two versions of the same idea:
- Legal (Adjective) describing a thing.
- Example: a legal paper (The paper is okay/allowed).
- Law (Noun) the rule itself.
- Example: a new law (A new rule for everyone).
Quick tip: Use 'Legal' to describe a document or a person's status. Use 'Law' when talking about government rules.
