Dear Teachers,

1. Where did you get petrol for your motorbike?
- I got petrol for my motorbike at 203 gas station.

2. Where did you send your children to the kindergarten?
- I sent my children to Washington kindergarten.

- Are these natural to say?

Thanks a lot to Teachers,

Stevenukd

1. this question and answer is grammatically and mechanically correct. if you were in America, this is what the same question and answer would look like...

->Where did yo get gas for your motorcycle?
->I got gas from BP (the name of a gas station) on Main Street.

2. the majority of elementary schools have one or more kindergarten classes, just as they have one or more classes through grade five or six (depending on the school and part of the country that you live in). kindergarten consists of five and six year olds and is the first level of school that children are required by law to attend. the question that you asked would be more natural without the addition of the kindergarten.

-> Where did you send your child to kindergarten?
->I sent my son to Washington Elementary School.
