Address
Hello everyone. In the following two short conversations, what are the pink parts?
Are they part of the name of the street? I mean ... Maybe there are many "Laleh Streets" there at the area and just one of them called "24 Laleh Street". or maybe "24" is not part of the street name and 24 is something else?
CONVERSATION ONE
A: Where do you live?
B: 24 Laleh Street, Sadieh.
CONVERSATION TWO
A: What’s their address?
B: 81 Farnam Street.
