Where are you? Rooms in a house
Where are you?
Where are you?
= I want to know your location or position.
= What is your location?
The question is:
Where are you?
The answer can be:
To be + IN + the (room) … or a place.
- I’m in the bathroom.
You are IN a room.
YOU has two meanings
- You can mean 1 person: you.
- You can mean 2 people: you + you.
Yes, we say 2 people not 2 persons. Person is an irregular plural noun.
Look at the two questions that appear above:
Where are you? …and… Where are you? (Yes, they are written and sound the same)
The first question: Where are you?
Here YOU is singular and refers to one person.
We know this because there is only one person in the picture.
The second question: Where are you?
Here YOU is plural and refers to two people. You + You
We know this because there are two people in the picture.
The words in the question are the same, though the answer will be different.
With the first question: Where are you? (YOU refers to ONE person…. YOU!)
An answer for this question is: I’m in the kitchen.
The second question: Where are you? (YOU refers to TWO people…. YOU and YOU!)
An answer for this question is: We’re in the kitchen.
We can also ask about other people.
- Where is she? She’s in the kitchen.
- Where is he? He’s in the living room.
- Where are they? They’re in the bedroom.
- Where is Steve? He’s in the dining room.
