House - Vocabulary

 

In this vocabulary lesson, I have compiled names of different parts of a house with pictures to help you memorise them.

1. Parts of a house

Essential parts of a house

A house has different parts. Each of them has a special use. The roof keeps us dry when it rains. Walls keep us safe and warm. The door lets us go in and out of the house. The windows bring in light and air. The floor is where we walk.
