Review: home and the zoo
Let us review. We ask: What’s in the living room? We answer: There’s a lamp. There are two chairs. We say where things are: The clock is next to the window. The chairs are across from the television. At the zoo we ask: Where are the hippos? We answer: Go straight. Turn left. We give ideas: How about going to the pandas? We answer: Good idea!
