How it works
A market has stalls out in the open air. Sellers call out, and stripy awnings keep off the sun.
A shop has a door and a roof, a bell and shelves, and a shopkeeper. In both, we choose what we want and then we pay.
Worked examples
At the market
- Look for stalls in a row, out in the open air.
- Sellers call out, fresh apples, pretty flowers.
- Apples, flowers and bread are for sale there.
In the shop
- A little bell goes ding-a-ling when the door opens.
- Inside, the shelves are full, and the rain cannot get in.
- One person, the shopkeeper, looks after the whole shop.
What is for sale
- At the market, a dog is a friend, not for sale.
- A bike is somebody's bike, not for sale.
- Sellers sell apples, flowers and bread.
In both places
- We choose what we want.
- Then we pay, a coin for the loaf.
- The seller or shopkeeper says thank you.
