Questions & Answers about ปู่ ชอบ สะสม แสตมป์ เก่า ครับ
Since this lesson is about adverbs of frequency, where would I put บ่อยๆ (often) if Grandpa collects stamps often?
You would place it at the end of the sentence, just before the polite particle ครับ. The sentence would become ปู่ ชอบ สะสม แสตมป์ เก่า บ่อยๆ ครับ.
Does ปู่ just mean any grandfather?
No, ปู่ specifically means your father's father (paternal grandfather). If you were talking about your mother's father, you would use the word ตา.
I see two verbs next to each other here: ชอบ (to like) and สะสม (to collect). Do I need a connecting word like 'to' in English?
No, in Thai you can just put verbs directly next to each other. ชอบสะสม perfectly translates to 'likes to collect' without needing any extra connecting words.
Why does เก่า (old) come after แสตมป์ (stamps)?
In Thai, describing words (adjectives) always come right after the noun they describe. So instead of 'old stamps', you say แสตมป์เก่า (stamps old).
