I used to have a dog and a cat as pets when I was a child. Now I live in a small apartment and there is no enough room for them. I like horses too and I would like to have a farm someday with chickens, pigs, goats, and rabbits.

My father is a farmer, he takes care of goats and cows. I do not take care of any pets. I never saw a pig before.

I care my cats but they don't care me. They are running away when they see me. I never saw a sheep.

Yes, I do. I have a dog. The breed is West Highland White Terrier.

Yes, I do. In particular I take care of my dog

I have a question. Why is a mouse one of the farm animals? A cat has a role of chasing a mouse. But why does a mouse live in a farm? :(

Hello Rafaela1,

I suppose because they can always find food of some sort? Next time I see one, I'll be sure to ask ...

All the best,

I have a cat, his name is Misha. I care about him. I saw the rest of the animals in my grandmother's village

I take more care of my dog and I know each other and I have seen all the animals

yes, I have a dog and two cats, I know farm animals and my favorite is the rabbit and the horse

Yes, I have a cat that I take care of since she was born, my parents take care of sheep and my sister a puppy that they gave her on her birthday. and no, I've already seen them all at least once.

Maybe taking care of the farm food or the cat looks at the rat because it is its prey.

What does a cat do in a farm? Keeping an eye on rats??

I love cat and dog. They are my favorite pets. In my house , there are always cats or dogs . I don't see sheep. Because I live in uptown, so I can't see these sheep.

Currently, I don't. But, we had a dog in my parents' house and one summer I went there for holidays and I took care of him. I gave him showers, fed him, played with him, went for a walk with him, and even talked to him when I felt bad. He was like a friend, we spent a lot of time together. I've never seen a pig. I used the past simple, but I'm not sure if it is correct. I'm a bit confused! Would you please tell me which tense I should use in this case. Thank you for your attention. Best wishes

Hello Asni,

Yes, the past simple is appropriate here. You're describing a series of actions which took place in the past at a specified time.

Hello Peter, Thank you for your answer. I was confused because when I described the action of feeding 'I fed him' I meant that I was doing that over a period of time in the past, in this case, during the holidays, not only once.

I have a dog and a cat. When they were sick, I took care of them carefully and dedicatedly. I have never seen a sheep in my life.

I have a dog, I had a rabbit, I like horses, I've seen them all.

Now I have two dogs and six cats) Because I live in the village I have no problems with so many animals) My grandfather had many rabbits and I liked to play with them when I was a childe. I rode a horse and I didn't like it.

when I was young, I raised 3 dogs (Big dog, Lai, Su) but Big dog and Lai dead already, and now I just raise Su, and I love it so much.

I'd love to have pets but I still doesn't have. I maybe will choose a cat because this animal doesn't too much care, it can make his life by it own. Maybe when I will have a house or more time for me I will take a dog too. I think I've ever seen all of this animals, perhaps not pigs. Sadly I've already see mice in my flat ... I'd prefer to never have see this animal ;)

Yes, I had. No.

I haven't see pig yet. In pet animals cat is one of my favorite but i have never had a cat because my mother have allergy with it. In village side we have farm animals like goat, hen, cow, rabbit. People get milk , meat, egg from them, they eat and also sell these farm products.

I don't take care of any animals. yet I have not seen the pig. pig meat is forbidden in Islam.

I never saw a pig. In Egypt we don't have it in farms and it's forbidden for Muslims to eat pork.

I'm wondering if a cat is a farm animal or a home pet...???

The above I haven't take care of animals, but I have two pets are the bird. I seeing everything above animals.

In our daily life all the animals we need like we eat cows milk & meat, same for sheep & goat, we eat chicken, some have pet like cat & dogs, other religious eat piggs meat, and horse for riding etc.

I don't take care of any of these animals, but I sometimes enjoy watching funny videos of animals on online. ʕ•ﻌ•ʔฅ

I don't take care of any of these animals. I don't have an animals and pets at all. There is any animal that I have never seen, I haven't seen a pig.

I don’t like animals very much because I scared of them but my father take care of chickens every day he feeds them and give them water when they are thirsty. I have seen all of them except big,eating pork in our country is forbidden.

Very funny! I named my dog Patience and I leave Burkina Faso when he was still a baby dog. But when I went back from Algeria in 2017, he totally forgot me and was in the point to attack me, fortunately my mom was here. During my holidays I tried my best to get his heart but I failed, whatever I still love him because he is too cute and my best keeper. Best friend forever Patience!!!!!!!!!!!

I have seen all of them except pig. Eating pork in our country, Iran, is forbidden.I do not like to take care of them.

Humans eat them, except mice(?), somewhere around the world.

I have two dogs.

Hello Fatony, I'm afraid we don't check our users' posts for errors. We get a lot of requests like this and it's just not possible for us to do it for everyone. We would end up doing our users' homework for them, I expect! Peter The LearnEnglish Team

I live on a farm but I've been living on campus next to the farm since last year. I enjoy my time at university. In the future, I will be working in a firm. I still have a struggle with prepositions such as 'on' 'at' 'in'. Why do people say 'live on a far' instead of 'in a farm' or 'in campus'? Is it because it's difficult to know the precise area?? Can anybody help me?

Hello Smiley1

In general, 'in' is often used with places that have a clear boundary (e.g. a city or country), 'on' is used for surfaces (including streets) and some kinds of transport, and 'at' for more specific locations or when we are thinking more about the activity we carry out in a place more than the physical place itself (e.g. 'at the chemist's'). There's a more detailed explanation on this Cambridge Dictionary page that I would recommend taking a look at.

As for, 'on campus' and 'on a farm', you could think of these as surfaces, though of course you could also think of them as places with boundaries. Often, I'm afraid, you just have to learn which prepositions are used with specific words -- and that is the case with these words.

All the best
