English A1 Q&A Corrections #116
Topic: where / when / why / from / near
Lesson overview:
Today we practice short question words and simple correction patterns. In A1 English, many learners put the words in the wrong order. The main idea is:
- where = place
- when = time
- why = reason
- from = origin or starting place
- near = close to a place
Review from earlier lessons:
- Use question words to ask clear questions.
- Use short, simple sentence order.
- Keep the verb after the question word in many basic questions.
5 words:
1) where — wair — asking about a place
2) when — wen — asking about time

5) near — niar — close to
5 word readings:
