II. Content
Where are you from?

INTRODUCTION
We have the chance to meet people from all sorts of backgrounds. And one of
the most common questions we ask people we’ve just met is “where are you
from?” In other words, “where do you come from?”

III. Content Development

How do you answer the question? Well, we can understand it in two ways. First
it might mean where you grew up. That is: where you lived as a child.
One way you can talk about where you grew up is to say you “were raised” or
“were born” in a certain place. That might be a country, city or area of the
world.
If someone asks where you’re from, you can also just use that word “from” in
your answer. “I’m from Honduras”.
Also, if you’re talking about a country you’re from, you could just say your
nationality, such “I’m Nicaraguan”.
But the second meaning of this question is “where do you live now?” After all,
in the 21st century, many people don’t live and work in the same place they
grew up. So, one way to answer the question is simple to say “I live and work
in Choluteca” or “I’ve been in Siguatepeque for the past ten years”.

Ordinal and Cardinal Numbers

Using ordinal number words is closely tied to understanding the concepts on
which objects or events are being ordered, i.e. comparing heights, comparing
volumes, comparing times, comparing areas etc. This module will give you the
practical understanding of how to use ordinal numbers, how to spell and write
them correctly when referring to a particular order.

Ordinal numbers are used when you need to rank something or know it’s
position.

Example: Mr. Martinez came (1st) first in the race
