Hi teachers,
In Marta’s village a policeman stood at the door of her house. ‘We looked all through the house, and there’s nobody in there,’ he said. ‘Only Marta, the old woman. And she’s not talking.’
Can I assume from the text that 'at the door of her house' was 'the main entrance'?
Was there anybody at Marta's main entrance?
Yes, there was. A policeman.
Thanks in advance.

Hi TS It's probably the main entrance, but not necessarily. I think it would be better to use "door". " " Yes, there was.

Hi TS
It's probably the main entrance, but not necessarily. I think it would be better to use "door".
I would reword it as follows:
"Was anybody standing at Marta's door?"
" Yes, there was. A policeman." or "Yes, a policeman"
