Lesson 3 of 4
15 min
Keza cannot find her eraser. Is it on the table? Is it under the chair?
Let's learn the little words that tell us WHERE things are.
| Français | English | Kinyarwanda |
|---|---|---|
| sur | on | hejuru ya |
| sous | under | munsi ya |
| dans | in, inside | mu |
| devant | in front of | imbere ya |
| derrière | behind | inyuma ya |
Keza : Où est ma gomme ?
Gatete : Elle est sous la chaise !
Keza : Merci ! Et mon crayon ?
Gatete : Il est dans ta trousse.
Did you see? Things can be il or elle too. La gomme is elle. Le crayon is il.
