Lesson 338--Car Vocabulary: Round Things

I like cars and I am sure some of you who follow these lessons do too.  I would like to take the time to help you improve your car vocabulary.  There are several round things in cars that we need to have the right vocabulary for.  These include:

wheels

tires/tyres

wheels with tires (tyres)

I don't want to forget the most important "wheel" in the car
the steering wheel

Lesson 303--Car vocabulary

Car are one of my passions.  Because of this, I would like to spend the next couple of lessons teaching you some important phrases related to cars.

gun the engine

rev the engine

These phrases mean to speed up.  This can be done when the car is moving, or when it is not moving.  The engine will sound louder and faster.

Vroom!!

 

This is an onomatopoetic word to describe the sound an engine makes.  When we explain the engine working, or when we are playing with toy cars, this is the sound we make.
