Hello Cambodian Learners!
When we want to make our English sound more interesting and give more details, we use describing words! Adjectives describe nouns (like a "beautiful flower" at the market in Battambang). Adverbs often describe verbs, telling us *how* an action is done (like "the boy runs quickly"). Learning these words will help you understand descriptions much better!
