Where/ What is your hometown?
Hi teachers!
Today I read something about English on the Internet.
The Korean writer says "Where is your hometow?" is kind of broken Englush and we should ask "Where are you from?"
So I wonder if it really is and what if we say "What is your hometown"?
1. Where are you from? ( 0)
2. Where is your hometown? (?)
3. What is your hometown? (?)
Many thanks in advance ?
