Location Chunks

In Level 2 we introduce 'Location Chunks' - these are places where the 'verb' takes place.

In Beginner we learned the verb 'go' which has locations, but we did not call these 'Location Chunks'. Why? Let's look.

I went to the park.

I = subject

went = past tense of the verb 'go'

to = preposition

the = determiner

park = object / location

I would not say 'the park' is a 'location chunk' because, without it, the sentence doesn't make sense.

I went to

Let's change the verb to 'play'. What did you play? Let's say 'football'.

I played football.

I = subject

played = past tense of the verb 'play'

football = object (what you played)

Now, we can add a 'location chunk' because the sentence makes sense without the location.

I played football in the park.

I played football at school.

I played football in the gym.

Example 1

The sentence is:

I read a crime thriller.

Now, let's + LOCATION CHUNKS:

I read a crime thriller at the library.

I read a crime thriller on the bus.

I read a crime thriller at home.

Example 2

I drank a cocktail.

+ LOCATION CHUNK

I drank a cocktail on the beach.

I drank a cocktail in a bar.

I drank a cocktail in my house.
