What is the name for top covering of a house?

Answer 1

Roof.

that is the answer the person wrote before me, as you see i am improving, here's my answer:

a top covering of a house is known as a roof though if you are wondering what kind of roofing there is then here are some examples: (just a few)

• tiles
• brick
• the same material as what is made for walls... I'm not sure what it's called...
• wood (tree houses for example)
• corrugated iron

and that's just to name a few things.

however, i happen to know that in the popular English/Grammer book 'ENGLISH MATTERS' then one of the questions is 'what is the top covering of a house?' now i know this seems very easy but earlier it says something like 'answer the following questions', the answers are in list words. so, the answer to that question is actually proof, ok?
