  4. A spatial preposition is a word which is used to describe the position of an object often in relation to another object.

  5. Embedded Questions • Can you tell me where the library is? • I don't know where the theater is. • Can you tell me how to get to Building 5? • Some other important expressions include: • I'm lost. • Which way is the hotel? • You can't miss it. • Right in front of you. • It's on the second floor.

  6. Asking for Directions – Common Phrases Excuse me……. (Be polite, since you are interrupting) How do I find . . . suite 305? Would/Could you tell me how to get to . . . the restroom? What is the best way to get to . . . the business office? Would/Could you direct me to . . . Mrs. Yang’s office? Which way do I go to get to . . . the Architecture Building?

  7. Giving Directions – Common Vocabulary Go Turn Take Stay On Left/Right Up/Down Through • 1st, 2nd, 3rd… • It’s + preposition • It’s on • It’s at • It’s near • It’s across from • Transition Words • after that • then • next • when you get to…go… • finally

  8. When Giving Directions in English Giving directions usually consists of two sets of instructions. In the first set: Say “Go” and tell the listener what street, building, office number, etc – or – how far they need to go. In the second set: Say “then” and tell the listener what to do when they get there. (turn left, turn right, it’s on the left, etc.) Giving even very complicated directions is just a repetition of these two steps.
