🌍 Talking about Where Things Are

In the text, we see: "The games are in the USA, Mexico, and Canada."

To tell someone where a person, a place, or an event is, we use is/are + in.

The Rule:

  • 1 thing β†’ is in (The party is in Mexico City)
  • 2+ things β†’ are in (The teams are in Kansas City)

πŸ•’ Now vs. Later

Look at these two different ways the text talks about time:

  1. Right now (Happening today): "Teams are choosing their players now." β†’ Use this for things that are changing at this moment.

  2. The Future (Planned): "Famous singers will perform." β†’ Use will for things that haven't happened yet.
