Example: There were 2 bedrooms in my house. In one of the bedroom there were 3 beds, because me and my siblings used to sleep in the same room. There was a small living room, and the kitchen was outside the house. There was 1 bathroom in my mother's bedroom that we all used. This house was in the same lot as my grandmother's house.
