Getting Around: Transport Words

🎯 What You'll Learn

You will learn the English words for the different ways people get from one place to another.

🌟 Let's Start

Funke takes a yellow bus called a danfo to school every morning. Her neighbour Tunde rides on the back of an okada. On the highway, big trucks carry goods to the market. People travel in many different ways!

📚 New Concept

Transport words:

• Car — a vehicle with four wheels for carrying people
• Bus — a large vehicle that carries many people (like a danfo)
• Bicycle — you pedal it with your feet, it has two wheels
• Motorcycle — a fast two-wheeled vehicle (okada)
• Truck — a big vehicle that carries heavy things
• Boat — travels on water
• Walk — to travel using your legs and feet
• Road — the path that cars and buses drive on

Using transport words in sentences:

• "Emeka rides his bicycle to school."
• "The bus is full of passengers."
• "We walk to the market because it is not far."
