In fact ,I don't have any animals to care it . But previously , in my country my father was been raiser goats and sheep , he don't love doges and cats , I was milked the female goat ,But i don't like that milk , they say it good for the children's .I don't want to take care for any animal because i disgusting of they. I don't saw it pig and i don't want see it .
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 ;)
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.
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 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!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Fatony,

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?
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.
Animals above are domestic one so most of the people have seen them at least once. In England, you can see mice too much particularly when there is a large green space around your house.
Years ago I had a cat and he was so lovely and loyal like a dag. He was only pet I used to take care. After that, I brought no pet to keep at the house. In my personal idea, we take their freedom and change their habits to what we want to. That is true, we take care, feed or water them, and love them but they do not belong to our lifestyle; they are part of nature and we have taken them apart from the original place.
Actually, no. But, I want to take care of a dog like pitbull, because they look very rude but I think that they are so sweet and friendly. In general, about those animals there is not any that I don't want to see.
i have twon dogs and i have really seen all these animalsin my life

Hello Rafaela1,
I suppose because they can always find food of some sort? Next time I see one, I'll be sure to ask ...

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.
