Why do recipes not use the word "you"?

Good question, Vireak! Instructions use the "Imperative form". This means we give direct commands to save space and read faster. So "Chop the onions" is faster than "You need to chop the onions". 📝

Hi Nita! "Mix" means combining different things together (like flour and sugar). "Stir" is the specific action of moving a spoon in a circle (like stirring coffee). 🥄

If a bag is "durable", does it mean it is heavy?

Not always! "Durable" just means it is strong and won't break easily. You can have a bag that is both "lightweight" AND "durable" at the same time! 🎒
