400 oldalas könyv =

25 éves nő =

3 hetes nyaralás =

10 emeletes épület=

We practised questions with 'do you think' in the middle:

WHO are you? + what 'do you think' = WHO do you think you are?

When is this course going to end?

How many new words have we learnt so far?

How many people have been to the Moon?
