    Learn Vocabulary from the lesson

    somewhere

    Probably somewhere near Tokyo.

    'Somewhere' is a non-specific place. In the example, we are talking about a place near Tokyo, but we don't know the exact location. We can use this word to give a general location. Notice the following:

    Do you want to go somewhere with beaches for vacation?

    She lives somewhere near the post office.

    country

    Would you buy a house in the city or the country?

    'Country' is the opposite of the city. It is a place where there are animals, trees, farms, rivers, and many other natural things. Notice the following:

    He lived in the country until he was 15 years old.

    On the weekends, we go to our house in the country.

    further out

    Well, a little further out of the middle of Tokyo.

    If a place is a greater distance away from the middle of Tokyo then it is 'further out.' We use this word to talk about distance away from something important, like a city. Notice the following:

    Every day she swam a little further out from the side of the pool.

    I thought you lived further out than this.

    crowded

    Some place not too crowded.

    If a place is 'crowded' it has a lot of people in it. Usually in crowded places it is difficult to move because of all the people. Notice the following:

    The bar was too crowded and there was no place to sit.

    I thought the concert would be really crowded, but there weren't a lot of people there at all.

    outside dog

    Well, maybe a dog, but an outside dog.

    An 'outside dog' is a dog that lives outside of the house, maybe in a small dog house or akennel. This would be a dog that could live in different types of weather, rain or snow. Notice the following:

    Because our dog is so big he has to be an outside dog.

    We have an outside dog to protect the house.
