Asking for Directions
To start a conversation with a stranger, always use the phrase 'Excuse me'. You can ask 'How do I get to the bus station?' or 'Where is the nearest supermarket?'. Other polite options include asking for the way to the park or if there is a pharmacy nearby.
- Always start with 'Excuse me' to be polite
- Use 'How do I get to...' or 'Where is the nearest...'
Giving Directions and Grammar
When giving directions, use the imperative form, which is the base form of the verb without 'you'. You can say 'Go straight ahead', 'Turn left', or 'Cross the street'. When talking about specific places in town, we usually use the word 'the' before the building name.
- Use verbs like 'Go', 'Turn', or 'Take' to give instructions
- Use 'the' for specific buildings like 'the post office'
Describing the Location
Prepositions of place help you tell someone exactly where a building is located. A place can be next to the bank, opposite the school, or between the cinema and the cafe. You can also say it is on the corner of the street or on your right.
- Use prepositions like 'next to', 'opposite', and 'between'
- Describe the position relative to other buildings or the street corner
Zanimivosti
- When giving directions, you never use the word 'you' with the verb.
- The word 'the' is used because both people usually know which specific building they are talking about.
