🚦 Using 'Too' for Problems

In the text, we see: "cars drive too fast" and "roads are not safe enough."

When something is a problem, we use too + adjective. It means "more than we want."

Examples from the road:

  • Fast \rightarrow Too fast (Danger!)
  • Old \rightarrow Too old (The car is broken)

🌍 Talking about Places

Look at how the text connects people to countries:
