How to give directions in English

on the test understanding, question 4th and 5th are the same.

REY

I was just going to say that, I scored 5 out of 5 btw.

David

This is fixed now.

engVid

Congratulations!

Jon

It is needed a few more expressions in order to be able to tell how to get to a given place; however, it is a good start.

Thanks Jon.

Jon

I got 4/4…. Mr. Jon, why don’t you try to give us a lesson between may and might?

totong

sir Jon, i’m going to wait ur may and might.

totong

Sir jon, thanks.its really intresting video.

shakeel123

Where’s the library? Tim: It’s on the corner of Ontario Street and Maple Syrup Avenue.

The second one “at, in” could be nice too?

breula

I would not say “in the corner”. “At the corner” means very close to, so people would understand, but I think “on the corner” is the best answer.

Jon

yes. MR ITHINK THAT ALSO AND thank you very much you`r very talent

nada sherif

thank you it’s helpful

marwaaiman

thank u veryuch for this intresting lesson

prakash

sir Jon,,, hello… can u give a lesson about the rule of combining noun and pronoun in a sentence… like “Jon and I or Jon and me”. I’ll wait for this from you.

totong

I will take note of that. Thanks.

Jon

oh,,, i have a long time to open engvid,,, coz i’ll became busy lately,,, but thanks sir Jon,,, i’ll wait that lesson… i’m sure, it helps us a lot…

totong

John, tell me something. When you say DIRECTION it sounds like D[:i]rection but there is another pronuncation like D[:i]rection (something like wide, wife). I hope you get what i mean. Are they both correct?

xewax

Unfortunately, English is not as consistent as Spanish for example, so you will here many variations depending on where the ‘native’ speaker is from. My suggestion is that you listen to native speakers from Australia, Ireland, Scotland, Canada, New Zealand, the U.S. and England, etc. Choose the accent that you would like to hear and practice with their pronunciation. Good luck.

Jon

Sir Jon, hello, I’m curious why you didn’t reply our comments. Are you still reading it? Anyway, I want to ask you a favor about a lesson using a conjunction “and” and “or” in a subject or predicate of a sentence.

totong

Sorry about taking so long. I will take note of your request. Thanks.

Jon

thanks sir Jon, its help us a lot….

totong

Thanks :)

Anar

Mr. I’m very enjoy about your lesson.. thanks a lot…

Fadhlon

this is cool! i’ve been looking for something that could help me in learning expressions to use when giving directions. is there more? especially if you’re on the road?

jen

what i mean is are there more?

jen

But, what people need to learn, are the street corner directions: Is this the Southwest corner? How do you know, from there, how do they get to the next place, and turn left on the NorthEast corner?

Josh

Thank you so much for your marvelous lessons.:) I just would like to make sure that I could use ‘make right/left’ instead of ‘turn right/left’. Actually, I’ve heard lots of people saying ‘make a left and go straight’. I would appreciate it if you could reply me when you have time.

bmilie

I’m the best student here ever hehehehe

joserosilbr

The lesson is very important because we
all have to move to places we don’t know.

Thank you teacher.

Naima

If I want to ask about certain building, what should I say? “How can I get to ten Main street?” Is it write?
And how can I say about a building on, for example, 6th avenue? “How can I get to nine hundred sixth avenue?” Is it write?
Please, answer both questions.
