❄️ Describing 'What' and 'Where'

In this text, we see a simple pattern to describe problems in different places. This is a key skill for A2 English.

The Pattern: [Place] + has + [Problem]

Examples from the text:

  • New York \rightarrow has \rightarrow a storm warning
  • New Jersey \rightarrow has \rightarrow storms

Why this helps you: Instead of using complex sentences, you can use "has" to connect a location to a situation.

Quick Guide: Time Words Notice how the text tells us when things stop:

  • Until 10:00 PM
  • Until midnight

Use "until" when you want to say the end time of an event. It is a bridge between the action and the clock.
