@isthmus_x “Travel” gives me the impression that the fire engine was ready to go to another country and do some sightseeing. 😂 I didn’t know this use of “travel” before. Thank you!

Cool. Yes, it’s a slightly formal way of saying “the vehicle was going at/towards….”

@studiousme Don’t say “going so fast“. That’s the type of thing that very small children say.Say – the fire engine was travelling very fast. A fire engine was speeding. The fire engine was racing towards the fire. The fire engine was doing 70 mph. Stuff like that is more common

@studiousme Sure, that’s the order if you take into consideration the fact that 99.9% of people say fire engine.
