A street, or road in a city or town is a place that people live on, or that has shops on. There are buildings on either side of the street and people walk or drive on the street. A very narrow street like the one in the picture is sometimes called a lane.

Tis forTomb

A tomb is a structure where the remains of the dead are kept, which is different to a normal grave were the remains are simply buried. There are lots of different names for tombs in different cultures, such as mausoleum or crypt. The ancient Egyptian pyramids were originally built as tombs. Like the pyramids, many tombs of rich or influential people are very large and elaborate.
A train station is a special place that you go when you want to take a ride on a train. Trains take a long time to slow down or speed up, so train stations are usually quite some distance apart.
