Countries & Nationalities

English Vocabulary

The word 'Nationality' is not often used in spoken English. It is a formal and official word and it
appears more frequently in written English. You will find the word 'Nationality' is used a lot in the
travel industry and for immigration.

We almost never say: What is your nationality?

We usually say: Where are you from? OR Where do you come from?

To tell someone your nationality you DON'T say: My nationality is Chilean.

You say: I'm Chilean

Remember

I am from Chile.
To Be + from + country

I am Chilean.
To Be + Nationality

Singular Plural
Country Countries
