BBC: How to aks for and give directions-2

And Covent Garden Market will just be right in front of you. 

Covent Garden will just be right in front of you. He could also have said Covent Garden will be directly in front of you or immediately in front of you- it's not far away. Rignt in front of you in this context means it's not far away. 

Let's listen to the next set of directions. Listen out for an expression in this clip which means it's very easy to see. 

I was wondering if I could ask you how to get to the nearest tube station?

Err, you could use Holborn tube station, which is straight down Oxford street. Turn right and keep going up Kingsway and you won't miss it- it's on the right. 

Did you spot the expression? You won't miss it is a nice way of saying it's very easy to see. Now listen to the beginning of this sentence. 

Keep going up Kingsway and you won't miss it. 

Keep going is a good way of telling someone they will have to walk or drive for a while before they get to a certain point. 

Let's end with a couple of questions to check you've understood some of today's language. 

Which is correct?: The building is at your right, or The building is on your right?

The second is correct: we use the presposition on. 

The building is on your right. 

Which of these would be a correct way of telling someone to turn left?: Take a left, or Have a left?The first one is correct. Have a left doesn't make sense- Take a left is fine. 

Which of these phrases means turn right?: Go right to the end of the road, or Go right at the end of the road?

The second one, with the prepostion at, means turn right. Go right up the road usually means go all the way up the road.
