2- Where do you live?

We use affirmative sentences    to say where we live. Look at the structure:

I + live + in + a/an + type of house
 

I live in a house. 
 

Subject   +	Live       +	In  +	a/an      +	Type of house
I	live	in	a	apartment
You	live	in	an	house
He	lives	in	a	igloo
She	lives	in	an	condominium
It	lives	in	a	cabin
We	live	in	a	house
They	live	in	an	apartment

 

English Tips We add a letter -s at the end of the verb live when the subject is:   – It   Examples:             Carlos lives in a house.                                       My dog lives in a house.   – She   Examples:         Paula lives in an apartment.                                       My friend lives in a cabin.   – He  Examples:            Joaquín lives in a condominium.                                       My cousin lives in a house.

 

We use negative sentences    to indicate negation or denial. Look at the structure:

I + don’t/doesn’t live + in + a/an + type of house

I don’t live in a house 
 

Subject   +	Don’t/doesn’t	Live       +	In  +	a/an      +	Type of house
