Question types: Who uses what?

Rule: Jobs

Hairdresser – scissors and comb, doctor – stethoscope, painter – brush and paints, carpenter – saw and plane.

Gardener – watering can and rake, cook – wooden spoon and pan, tailor – needle and thread, bricklayer – trowel and bricks.

Example: A dentist works with a dental mirror, a farmer with a tractor and plough, a baker with an oven and dough.

Watch out: A carpenter works with wood (saw, plane), a bricklayer with bricks. Don’t mix them up.
