What is a car? A car is a machine. It carries people on journeys. We go to school in cars, and we go to the shops in cars. Sometimes we go on holiday in cars. Cars are many different shapes and sizes. There are tiny cars with space for just two people. These cars are good for driving around town and parking in small spaces. Big cars have seats for six or seven people. This is a small city car.
