🚇 Counting Things in the City

In the text, we see how to describe the size and number of things. This is a key part of A2 English.

1. Measuring Length We use the word long after the number:

  • 10 kilometers \rightarrow long
  • 4.6 kilometers \rightarrow long

2. Counting Stations When we talk about how many things a place has, we use 'It has':

  • It has \rightarrow nine stations
  • It has \rightarrow five stations

3. Simple Word Changes Look at how we describe the lines:

  • Long \rightarrow Longest (This means the number one in length)

Quick Tip: Use 'It is' for the distance and 'It has' for the parts inside.
