So, I will ask a question using in, on or under.
56

2020
03:09
Is the answer, “Yes, it is.”
58
189890
2410
03:12
or “No, it isn’t.”
59
192300

03:14
Okay.
60
194690

03:18
“Is the rabbit under the chair?”
62
198479
6337
03:24
“No, it isn’t.”
63
204816
4565
03:29
“Is the rabbit in the chair?”
64
209381
5792
03:35
“No, it isn’t.”
65
215173
3428
03:38
“Is the rabbit on the chair?”
“…on the chair?”
66

5859
03:44
“Yes, it is.”
67
224460
3317
03:47

227777
942
03:48
Now, we’re going to move on to the snakes.
69
228719
3651
03:52
Now, there are…there are more than one,
right, so it’s plural, so we say,
70
232370
4327
03:56
“Are the snakes…” with an ‘s’.
71
236697
3293
03:59
Okay.
72
239990
629
04:00
So again, think.
73
240619
1371
04:01
Is the answer, “Yes, they are.”
74
241990
2440
04:04
or “No, they aren’t.”
75
244430

04:07
“Are the snakes in the chair?”
76

3876
04:18
“Are the snakes on the chair?”
78
258876
6236
04:25
“No, they aren’t.”
79
265112
3759
04:28
“Are the snakes under the chair?”
80
268871
4792
04:33
