Three travelling ideas

Order words tell what happens in order: first, then, next, after that, last.
Use them to tell a journey: “First I leave home. Then I cross the road. Next I pass the park. Last I reach school.”

Put it in order.

First wake up, then brush teeth, next eat breakfast, last go to school. Order words keep the story neat.

Position words tell where: on, under, near, behind, in front of, between.
The shop is near my house. The dog sits under the tree. The bus stops in front of the gate.

Between means in the middle of two things.
The park is between the school and the shop. School on one side, shop on the other, park in the middle.

Tip: use between for two things, and among for many. “between two friends,” “among many friends.”
