Explanation
Goods are things that people make, buy, or sell. For example, the shop sells fresh goods every morning. Goods can be food, clothes, toys, furniture, or anything useful. In business, goods are items that people trade for money. We often talk about imported goods (goods brought from other countries) or used goods (second-hand items). Unlike services, goods are things you can touch and use.
