How do you give directions in English?
0:34
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Hello!
0:34
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
My name is Maddy from POC English and in this lesson
0:39
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
we are going to learn how to ask for and give
0:43
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
directions.
0:44
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
First,
0:45
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
I will teach you different types of streets.
0:48
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
Then,
0:49
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
we will learn prepositions of place to say where
0:53
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
a building or a location is.
0:56
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
After that,
0:57
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
I will teach you how to ask for and give directions
1:02
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
in English.
1:03
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
and finally i will show you a map and then you will
1:07
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
have to give me directions using the vocabulary and the
1:11
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
language you have learned in this lesson so make sure you watch this
1:15
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
video to the end okay let's start with
1:19
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
different street types
1:21
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
What are the differences between avenues or roads
1:25
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
or streets or lanes or ways or
1:29
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
trails or maybe boulevards or highways?
1:34
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
What are the differences?
1:35
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
Let's start with number one,
1:38
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
road.
1:39
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
What's a road?
1:40
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
A road is a way that connects two
1:44
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
places so that people can walk or drive
1:48
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
or ride easily.
1:50
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
A road can be paved,
1:52
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
maybe with asphalt,
1:54
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
or even made of dirt or stones.
1:58
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
So, road is a general term.
2:01
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Now,
2:02
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
what is a street?
2:03
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
A street is a public road inside the
2:08
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
city with buildings on one side or on both sides.
2:12
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
What is an avenue?
2:15
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
A wide street is called an avenue.
2:19
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
So,
2:20
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
a street is narrow and avenue is wide.
2:24
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
What are lanes or ways?
2:27
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
Well,
2:28
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
lanes and ways are narrow streets within
2:32
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
residential blocks.
2:34
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
What is a boulevard?
2:36
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
A boulevard is a wide and important street in
2:41
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
a city with an island in the middle which
2:45
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
is usually filled with grass,
2:47
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
flowers or even trees.
2:50
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
And finally,
2:51
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
what's a highway?
2:52
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
A highway is a very wide street
2:56
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
with several lanes on each side.
3:01
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
And cars usually go fast on the highways.
3:04
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Now,
3:05
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
knowing different types of streets,
3:07
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
it is time to learn the prepositions of place.
3:11
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
To say where a building or a location
3:16
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
is.
3:17
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
Look at this scheme I've made for you.
3:19
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
There are four buildings.
3:21
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
Buildings A,
3:22
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
B, C and D.
3:24
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
And there are two roads.
3:26
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
First road and second road.
3:28
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
Now, look at the first one.
3:30
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
Where is building A?
3:32
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
Building A is next to
3:36
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
building B.
3:37
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
Or building A is across
3:42
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
from building C.
3:45
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
Now, it's across from or it's opposite building
3:49
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
C.
3:50
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
Where is building A?
3:51
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
Next to building B or across from opposite
3:56
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
building C.
3:57
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
Now, where is B?
3:59
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
B is between A and D.
4:02
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
And where is D?
4:03
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
D is next to B,
4:06
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
right?
4:06
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
But you can also say D is on
4:10
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
the corner of...
4:12
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
First and second street.
4:15
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
So,
4:16
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
the prepositions you can use are across from
4:20
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
or opposite,
4:21
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
next to,
4:22
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
between or on the corner of.
4:25
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Now,
4:26
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
let's see how we can ask for direction from
4:30
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
someone we have seen on the street.
4:32
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
If you are not looking for a specific place,
4:36
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
you can use this question.
4:38
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
Is there a...
4:40
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
around here or near here?
4:43
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
For example,
4:44
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
is there a bank near here?
4:47
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
Is there a supermarket around here?
4:50
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
Is there a pet shop near here?
4:53
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
However,
4:54
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
if you are looking for a specific place,
4:57
S…
Speaker 2 (Directions)
you can use this question.
5:00
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Where is the...
5:01
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
And then in the blank,
5:03
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
you say the name of the place.
5:04
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
For example,
5:05
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
where is the Battery Park?
5:08
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Or where is the Rockefeller Center?
5:11
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
You can also use this question.
5:13
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
How can I get to...
5:16
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
How can I get to St.
5:18
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Patrick's Cathedral?
5:19
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Or how can I get to public library?
5:24
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Now, who are you asking these questions to?
5:27
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Strangers on the street,
5:29
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
right?
5:29
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
So you might want to be very polite.
5:32
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
In this case,
5:33
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
you can start your questions with can you
5:37
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
tell me or do you know?
5:40
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
However,
5:42
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
when you use these phrases at the beginning of your questions,
5:47
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
the question structure has to change.
5:51
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
These are called indirect questions and are very polite.
5:55
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
How can you make indirect questions?
5:57
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Let me show you.
5:58
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Look at this question.
6:00
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Where is the Rockefeller Center?
6:03
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
I want to make it more polite,
6:06
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
so I start with do you know?
6:08
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
When I start with do you know,
6:10
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
I have to change something in the main question.
6:14
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
But what?
6:15
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
I have to change the place of my auxiliary verb
6:19
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
and the subject of the question.
6:21
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
What is the auxiliary here?
6:23
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Is.
6:24
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
And what is the subject of the question?
6:27
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Rockefeller Center.
6:29
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
So let's change the place.
6:31
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Do you know where the Rockefeller Center is?
6:37
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Now this is a very polite question.
6:40
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
So you could either say,
6:41
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
where is the Rockefeller Center?
6:43
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Or be more polite and say,
6:45
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
do you know where the Rockefeller Center is?
6:48
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Let me show you another example.
6:51
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Look at the question.
6:52
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
How can I get to public library?
6:55
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
I can make it more polite by saying,
6:58
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
can you tell me?
7:00
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
But what should I do with the main question?
7:03
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Take the auxiliary verb and the subject of the question and
7:07
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
then swap the location.
7:09
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
What is the auxiliary?
7:11
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Can.
7:12
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
And what is the subject?
7:14
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
I.
7:15
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
So you can say,
7:17
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
can you tell me how I can get to
7:21
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
public library?
7:23
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
So, you could either say,
7:24
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
how can I get to public library?
7:26
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Or be more polite and say,
7:28
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
can you tell me how I can get to public library?
7:33
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
If you want to be even more polite,
7:35
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
instead of can,
7:36
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
you can say could.
7:37
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Could you tell me how I can get to public library?
7:41
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Now,
7:41
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
listen guys, normal questions are just fine.
7:44
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
But if you want to be more polite,
7:47
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
you can use indirect questions.
7:49
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Now let's learn how to give directions in English.
7:54
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Look at the first picture.
7:56
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Imagine you want to go from point A to point
8:00
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
B.
8:00
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
What can you say?
8:01
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
You can say go straight on or
8:06
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
go straight ahead.
8:08
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Or you can say go along the
8:13
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
road.
8:13
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
So from point A to B,
8:15
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
go straight on,
8:17
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
go straight ahead or go along the road.
8:21
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Look at this picture.
8:23
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
If I want to go from A to B,
8:25
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
what can I say?
8:26
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
That's right.
8:28
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Turn left.
8:30
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Or from point A to C.
8:33
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Turn right.
8:34
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Turn left.
8:36
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Turn right.
8:37
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Look at this picture.
8:39
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
It's very interesting.
8:40
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
How can you get from A to B?
8:42
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Turn left.
8:46
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Uh -uh.
8:47
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Turn left at which one?
8:48
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
The first one or second one?
8:50
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
That's why instead of turn left,
8:53
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
you say take the second left.
8:57
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
So take the second left will get you to
9:01
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
point B.
9:01
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
What can I do if I want to get to point C?
9:04
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Take the second right.
9:07
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Take the second left,
9:09
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
take the second right.
9:10
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Take the first left,
9:11
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
take the first right.
9:13
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Or simply turn left,
9:14
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
turn right.
9:15
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
So if there are more than two intersections,
9:19
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
you can use this phrase.
9:20
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Take the second,
9:21
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
take the third,
9:22
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
or take the fourth left.
9:24
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Take the second right.
9:25
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Look at this one.
9:27
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
I want to say go and reach point B,
9:29
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
but don't stop and continue going.
9:32
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
What can I say?
9:34
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Go straight on.
9:36
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
past B.
9:37
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
It means go on,
9:39
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
reach B,
9:40
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
but don't stop.
9:41
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Continue going.
9:42
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Now imagine B is a post office.
9:45
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
I can say go straight on past the
9:49
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
post office.
9:49
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
All right.
9:50
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Now look at this one.
9:52
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
What is this?
9:53
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
This is a roundabout.
9:56
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
A roundabout can have four,
9:58
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
five or six possible directions,
10:01
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
okay?
10:02
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
How can I say which direction to take?
10:05
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Well,
10:05
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
the first thing I want to tell you is with the word roundabout,
10:09
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
we use the preposition at.
10:11
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
So we say at the roundabout.
10:14
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Okay,
10:15
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
now imagine I want to get from point A to point B.
10:19
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Or point A to point C.
10:21
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Or point A to point D.
10:23
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
What can I say?
10:24
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
I can use this phrase.
10:26
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Take the exit at
10:30
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
the roundabout.
10:31
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Now,
10:32
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
instead of the blank part,
10:34
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
we should say first,
10:35
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
second,
10:36
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
third,
10:36
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
fourth,
10:37
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
fifth, sixth,
10:38
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
seventh, or as many exits as there are.
10:42
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
For example,
10:43
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
if you want to go from A to B,
10:45
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
you can say take the first exit
10:49
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
at the roundabout.
10:50
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
From A to C,
10:52
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
take the second exit at the roundabout.
10:56
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
From A to D,
10:57
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
take the third exit at the roundabout.
11:01
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
There is also another way.
11:02
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
I can say turn right at the roundabout or turn left at
11:06
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
the roundabout or go straight on past the roundabout.
11:10
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
So there are many different ways of giving directions.
11:14
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
And finally,
11:15
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
after arriving,
11:17
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
you can say it is on your right or it
11:21
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
is on your left.
11:22
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
Or you can use the prepositions of place that we talked about
11:26
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
earlier in this video.
11:28
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
It's between A and B.
11:30
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
It's between gas station and the library.
11:33
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
It's on the corner of 1st and 2nd street.
11:37
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
And now,
11:38
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
before we continue with the last part of this lesson,
11:41
S…
Speaker 1 (Directions)
if you want to receive free PDF file of the
11:45
S…
