Vocabulary Learning
📍 Where are they from?
In this text, we see a simple way to say where a person comes from. This is a key skill for A2 English.
The Pattern:
Person + is from + Place
Examples from the text:
- Blake Jenkins → is from Texas.
- Chris Kasky → is from Illinois.
💡 Why this works:
We use "is from" to talk about a person's home or origin.
- He is from... (for a man)
- She is from... (for a woman)
- They are from... (for a group)
Quick Tip: Always use a capital letter for the place (e.g., Texas, Illinois) because these are names of locations.
