🕒 Talking about Time & Money

When we describe events, we use specific patterns to show when something happens and how much it costs.

1. The Time Range (From → To) We use these two words together to show the start and end of an activity.

  • The Skunk & Goat Tavern is open from 8:00 to 20:00.
  • Flowers at the Arnold Arboretum from 10:00 to 15:00.

2. The Price Range (From → To) We use the same pattern for money. This tells us the cheapest and most expensive options.

  • City Winery has a music brunch for 24to24 to 36.

Quick Tip for A2: If you see "from," look for "to." They are like a pair of shoes; they usually stay together!
