If this translate to "this is a good book," how would you say "this book is good"?
Actually, if you go on the website version of Duolingo, they have a tips section for each "level" and they do explain this there. I wish the same tips were available also on the app but I guess we still have to wait for it (if I remember correctly they have added it on the English course).
A good way to have them at hand is: - Open Duolingo in the browser (I've used Chrome) - Log in - Open the menu of the browser (the 3 dots) - Chose "add to home screen"
I use that when I want to see the grammar tips and go back to the app when I want to do onlu exercises (because it's faster than the website version).
What is the difference between "This is a good book" and "This book is good"? Do they mean the same? To me they sound like 2 ways of saying the same thing.
In English, if you say "this is a good book", the grammar helps you emphasize the book. If you say "this book is good", the grammar helps you emphasize the good. Similarly in Hebrew. "This is a good book" (as opposed to that other book) or "this book is good" (and not bad). They are similar but are used slightly differently.
Sorry this formatted wrong. The טוב should be at the end, not the beginning. Its weird when u mix english and hebrew
