They all have goods things about them

Postby Rusden » Wed Jun 23, 2021 11:53 am

Dear All, I've come across an expression "They all have goods things about them", which the lady (mother) has used to describe her sons in general. Could please give some more interesting and natural expressions like that. Thank you.

"They all have their good characteristics", or more colloquially, "they all have their strengths".
