What city is nearby?

What city is nearby? means you're looking for a big town that’s close to where you are.

Imagine you're playing with your toy cars on the floor. You know your favorite toy car lives in your bedroom, but sometimes it's on the living room floor, that’s nearby too. A city is like a really big neighborhood with lots of people, buildings, and streets. So when we ask "What city is nearby?", we're trying to figure out which of these big neighborhoods you can reach easily.

If you're in your house, the nearby city might be the one where your friend lives, you can walk or ride a bike there. But if your friend lives across town, that’s not nearby anymore, it’s like going all the way to the end of the toy track.

Cities are usually bigger than towns and have more things happening, like schools, parks, and big stores. So when we ask about the city nearby, we're asking: Which of these big neighborhoods is close enough that you can go there easily?
