driving the car. P (park) – D (drive) – N (neutral) – R (reverse).

•Another meaning can be neutral in color as in shades of gray or beige. A neutral color is not a

bold and bright color, but rather one that is very basic or dull to look at.

often being neutral and don’t have an opinion either way.

help settle the issue. During this role-play, remember to point out who the neutral party is.
