Map: places and routes

The idea

Use a map for one and maps for several. Say a map of the city for the area represented, and on the map for a place shown there.

Examples

• The map shows the station.
• Can you find the hotel on the map?
• We need a map of the city.
• She compared two maps.
• I use a map to plan the route.
• The park is on this map.

Watch out

A map represents an area; a route is a way from one place to another.
