+    The `ngModel` input property sets the element's value property and the `ngModelChange` output property 
+    listens for changes to the element's value.
+    The details are specific to each kind of element and therefore the `NgModel` directive only works for elements
+    that implement one of a few patterns such as the input box's `value` property and `change` event. 
+    We can't simply apply `[(ngModel)]` to our custom components unless we write them to conform.

-    Internally, Angular maps the term `ngModel` to an `ngModel` input property and an
-    `ngModelChange` output property.
-    That’s a specific example of a more general pattern in which Angular matches `[(x)]` to an `x` input property
-    for property binding and an `xChange` output property for event binding.
+    `[(ngModel)]` is a specific example of a more general pattern in which Angular "de-sugars" the `[(x)]` syntax
+    into an `x` input property for property binding and an `xChange` output property for event binding.
+    Angular constructs the event property binding's template statement by appending `=$event` 
+    to the literal string of the template expression.
+  code-example(format="." ).
+    [(x)]="hero.name" &lt;==> [x]="hero.name" (xChange)="hero.name=$event"

   Is `[(ngModel)]` all we need? Is there ever a reason to fall back to its expanded form?
 
-  Well, `NgModel` can only set the target property.
-  What if we need to do something more or something different when the user changes the value?
-  Then we need to use the expanded form.
+  The `[( )]` syntax can only set the data-bound property when the value changes.
+  If we need to do something more or something different, we need to write the expanded form ourselves.
 
   Let's try something silly like forcing the input value to uppercase:
