Grammar

The next slide is about grammar. 

In Dutch we say "ik zit in de trein" in English we say "I'm on the train".

In Dutch we say "ik ben op school" in English we say "I'm at school"

words like "in/at/on/for" are super confusing in other languages. That's why we'll practice some today. And because the theme is work, we'll look at "work at/in/for/with/on/out"

Work at, in, for, with, on, out

Work at: place. I work at a bank. He works at his desk all day.

Work in: field or industry. I work in fanancing. He works in education

Work for (in opdracht van): company, person: I work for Rabobank. He works for Jack Parsons.

Work with: body part, tool, person. He works with his hands. She works with Sheila. I work with computers

Work on: task/action. I work on finance reports all day. He is working on his lessons.

Work out: means to exercise. I work out twice a week.

Vocab

One of the words is entry-level. This can be said about a job. An antry-level job is a job for people with no experience in that field (=startersfunctie).
