Place Words here, there, where

These three words all help us talk about place, and they all have 'here' inside them. 'Here' means close to me: 'Put it here. ' 'There' means farther away: 'The ball is over there. ' 'Where' asks about a place: 'Where is my sock?

' Notice that 'there' and 'where' sound alike at the end, rhyming with 'air'. A trick for spelling: 'here' is hiding in both 'there' and 'where', and all three are about place. Read: 'Where is the cat? It is not here. It is there, on the bed! '

• 1'here' means close; 'there' means farther away.
• 2'where' asks about a place.
• 3'here' hides inside 'there' and 'where'.
