Answer:

The three phases of the author’s relationship with his grandmother before he left the country to study abroad are:

childhood – when he went to the village school and the grandmother helped him to get ready and went to school with him.

boyhood – when he went to the city school in a bus. He shared a room with grandmother but she could no longer help him in his studies.
