2:47
an hour. There
2:50
are also a number of
2:52
said phrases with either him
2:54
or at. But. Not
2:57
both. Let's. Check
2:59
those out! If
3:01
you are in bed. It.
3:03
Means that you are sleeping
3:05
or relaxing in your bed
3:07
and usually that means. Under
3:10
the covers you can also
3:12
be at work, which means
3:14
you are working at your
3:16
workplace. You. Can also
3:19
be in class which means
3:21

The classroom. And.
3:28
If. You like water? You
3:30

With. The same he meant. Next
3:51
let's go to a farm.
3:54
You. Can live or work
3:57
on of form. you
3:59
can or at a farm
4:02
for a weekend stay to
4:04
enjoy the countryside life. How
4:07
about the beach? You can
4:09
go to the beach, you
4:12
can arrive at the beach,
4:15
and you can spend the
4:17
whole day on
4:19
the beach. How
4:22
about a park? You
4:24
can go to a park, you
4:27
can arrive at the park, and
4:30
you can spend your whole day
4:32

speaking of natural places, bears

live in the mountains, which
4:43
means an area of several
4:45

In the winter time, you can

mountain or snow on
4:57
the mountains. And in the
4:59
summer time, you can see
5:01
trees on a mountain or trees
5:05
on the mountains. And
5:07
finally, we have the phrase, at
5:10
home. I was
5:13
at home all day yesterday.
5:15
At home. In this case, home
5:20
is used as a noun, at
5:23
home. But the word
5:25
home could also be used as
5:27
an adverb without a preposition. I
5:30
was home all day yesterday. I
5:33
was home or
5:35
I was at home.
5:38
That's right, you can
5:41
be home or be at
5:43
home. We use both
5:45
of those patterns again
5:47
because the word home is
5:50
used as a noun and as
5:52
an adverb. Keep
5:55
in mind, the best way to remember
5:57
this and any other word or phrase
5:59
in it. Language is to take
6:01
that word or phrase right it
6:03
