🚗 Describing Things

When we talk about a car or a phone, we use Adjectives (describing words). Look at how the text does this:

  • Good battery →\rightarrow (Positive)
  • Long warranty →\rightarrow (Positive)
  • Nice inside →\rightarrow (Positive)

The Simple Rule: Put the describing word before the thing.

Example: New car\text{New car} (NOT Car new\text{Car new})

🌍 Who is it for?

The text shows us how to say where a company comes from:

  • Chinese company →\rightarrow From China
  • European company →\rightarrow From Europe

If you want to reach A2, practice changing the country name into a describing word!
