Where are you? Rooms in a house

Where are you? Rooms in a house

Where are you?

Where are you?
= I want to know your location or position.
= What is your location?

The question is:
Where are you?
The answer can be:
To be + IN + the (room) … or a place.

  • I’m in the bathroom.

You are IN a room.

YOU has two meanings

  • You can mean 1 person: you.
  • You can mean 2 people: you + you.

Yes, we say 2 people not 2 persons. Person is an irregular plural noun.

Where are you? The TWO meanings of YOU.

Look at the two questions that appear above:
Where are you? …and… Where are you? (Yes, they are written and sound the same)

The first question: Where are you?
Here YOU is singular and refers to one person.
We know this because there is only one person in the picture.

The second question: Where are you?
Here YOU is plural and refers to two people. You + You
We know this because there are two people in the picture.

The words in the question are the same, though the answer will be different.

With the first question: Where are you? (YOU refers to ONE person…. YOU!)
An answer for this question is: I’m in the kitchen.

The second question: Where are you? (YOU refers to TWO people…. YOU and YOU!)
An answer for this question is: We’re in the kitchen.

We can also ask about other people.

  • Where is she? She’s in the kitchen.
  • Where is he? He’s in the living room.
  • Where are they? They’re in the bedroom.
  • Where is Steve? He’s in the dining room.

Now it is your turn to practice. Answer the questions in the video.
