1. Pull the toy car back, making sure you hear the wheels winding up, then release it. It'll go forward.
2. No, that's not correct. You have to push the car down too while pulling it back, or else it's not going to work.
My questions:
Do you always have to refer to the toy car as such? Can it be just car?
I looked up on wikipedia how pullback motors work. It winds up an internal coil spring. But I was hoping to make it sound more simple to a child. Is wheels winding up okay?
It'll go forward sounds a bit off to me. Do you have a different word to describe the action other than go?
Also, if the above is okay, would It'll go suffice? Or should you always include the direction?
Can I say push the car down too when you're not really pushing the car down but putting just a little bit for downward pressure to make sure the wheels crank?
Is crank the correct word choice in the previous question?
