🌍 Connecting Two Places

Look at how we describe movement and belonging in this text. It is the key to A2 storytelling.

1. Moving from A → B

  • Moved to Jamaica (Past action)
  • Visiting three countries (Current action)
  • Go to Suriname (Future action)

2. Who lives where? To talk about people and their origins, we use 'of':

"People of Indian origin"

3. Sharing things When two groups have the same things, we use the word share:

  • They share food.
  • They share language.
  • They share religion.

Quick Tip: Use "share" when you want to say "We both have this."
