 ## How it works
 
-The `.form-adorn` wrapper replicates `.form-control` styling (border, background, focus states) while using flexbox to position adornments alongside a "ghost input," a form control that has virtually no visual styling. The `.form-ghost` input inside is transparent and inherits styles from the wrapper.
+Apply both `.form-control` and `.form-adorn` to a wrapper element. `.form-control` provides the border, background, padding, and focus states; `.form-adorn` uses flexbox to position adornments alongside a "ghost input," a form control that has virtually no visual styling. The `.form-ghost` input inside is transparent and inherits styles from the wrapper.
 
 See the [form control]([[docsref:/forms/form-control]]) documentation for more information on the `.form-control` and `.form-ghost` classes.
 
 ## Example
 
-Wrap an icon and a `.form-ghost` input inside `.form-adorn`. Place the adornment before the input in the DOM for start position (left in LTR).

 Use `.form-adorn-end` to position the adornment on the trailing side (keeps DOM order, uses CSS to flip visually):
