📖 Let’s Learn Places in a City!
A city has many different places where people go for different reasons — hospitals for health, schools for learning, markets for shopping, temples for worship, and parks for fun!
Knowing the names of these places helps you give and follow directions, talk about your city, and write about where you live. Indian cities have some unique places too!
💡 The Rule
Places in a city can be grouped by what they are used for: learning (school, library), health (hospital, clinic), shopping (market, mall), worship (temple, mosque, church), and fun (park, zoo, cinema).
🎯 Key Concept
🏥 Hospital = where sick people get treatment
📚 Library = where you read and borrow books
🏛️ Museum = where you see old/interesting things
🕌 Mosque/Temple = where people worship
📋 Types of Places
