Thank you.

How do you give directions in English?

Hello, my name is Matty from POC English.

And in this lesson, we are going to learn how to ask for and give directions.

First, I will teach you different types of streets.

Then we will learn prepositions of place to say where a building or a location is After that,

I will teach you how to ask for and give directions in English And finally, I will show you a map

and then you will have to give me directions Using the vocabulary

and the language you have learned in this lesson So make sure you watch this video to the end Okay,

let's start with different street types.

What are the differences between avenues or roads or streets or lanes or ways or trails or maybe boulevards or highways?

What are the differences?

Let's start with number one, road.

What's a road?

A road is a way that connects two places so that people can walk or drive or ride easily.

A road can be paved, maybe with asphalt, or even made of dirt or stones.

So road is a general term.

Now, what is a street?

A street is a public road inside the city with buildings on one side or on both sides.

What is an avenue?

A wide street is called an avenue.

So a street is narrow and avenue is wide.

What are lanes or ways?

Well, lanes and ways are narrow streets within residential blocks.

What is a boulevard?

A boulevard is a wide and important street in a city with an island in the middle,

which is usually filled with grass, flowers or even trees.

And finally, what's a highway?

A highway is a very wide street with several lanes on each side,

and cars usually go fast on the highways.

Now, knowing different types of streets, it is time to learn the prepositions of place,

to say where a building or a location is.

Look at this scheme I've made for you.

There are four buildings, buildings A, B, C and D.

And there are two roads, first road and second road.

Now, look at the first one.

Where is building A?

Building A is next to building B.

or building A is across from building C.

Now, it's across from or it's opposite building C.

Where is building A?

Next to building B or across from opposite building C.

Now, where is B?

B is between A and D.

And where is D?

D is next to B, right?

But you can also say D is on the corner of 1st and 2nd street.

So the prepositions you can use are across from or opposite, next to, between or on the corner of.

Now, let's see how we can ask for direction from someone we have seen on the street.

If you are not looking for a specific place, you can use this question.

Is there a around here or near here?

For example, is there a bank near here?

Is there a supermarket around here?

Is there a pet shop near here?

However, if you are looking for a specific place, you can use this question.

Where is the...

And then in the blank, you say the name of the place.

For example, where is the Battery Park?

Or where is the Rockefeller Center?

You can also use this question.

How can I get to...

How can I get to St. Patrick's Cathedral?

Or how can I get to public library?

Now, who are you asking these questions to?

Strangers on the street, right?

So you might want to be very polite.

In this case, you can start your questions with Can you tell me?

Or do you know?

However, when you use these phrases at the beginning of your questions, the question structure has to change.

These are called indirect questions and are very polite.

How can you make indirect questions?

Let me show you.

Look at this question.

Where is the Rockefeller Center?

I want to make it more polite, so I start with do you know?

When I start with do you know, I have to change something in the main question. But what?

I have to change the place of my auxiliary verb and the subject of the question.

What is the auxiliary here? Is.

And what is the subject of the question?

Rockefeller Center.

So let's change the place.

Do you know where the Rockefeller Center is?

Now this is a very polite question.

So you could either say, where is the Rockefeller Center?

Or be more polite and say, do you know where the Rockefeller Center is?

Let me show you another example.

Look at the question.

How can I get to public library?

I can make it more polite by saying, can you tell me, but what should I do with the main question?

Take the auxiliary verb and the subject of the question and then swap the location.

What is the auxiliary? Can.

And what is the subject?

I So you can say, can you tell me how I can get to public library?

So you could either say, how can I get to public library?

Or be more polite and say, can you tell me how I can get to public library?

If you want to be even more polite, instead of can, you can say could.

100

Could you tell me how I can get to public library?

101

Now, listen guys, normal questions are just fine.

102

But if you want to be more polite, you can use indirect questions.

103

Now, let's learn how to give directions in English.

104

Look at the first picture.

105

Imagine you want to go from point A to point B.

106

What can you say?

107

You can say go straight on or go straight ahead or you can say go along the road.

108

So from point A to B, go straight on, go straight ahead or go along the road.

109

Look at this picture.

110

If I want to go from A to B, what can I say?

111

That's right.

112

Turn left.

113

Or from point A to C, turn right.

114

Turn left, turn right.

115

Look at this picture.

116

It's very interesting.

117

How can you get from A to B?

118

Turn left.

119

Uh-uh.

120

Turn left at which one?

121

The first one or second one?

122

That's why instead of turn left, you say take the second left.

123

So take the second left will get you to point B.

124

What can I do if I want to get to point C?

125

Take the second right.

126

Take the second left, take the second right.

127

Take the first left, take the first right.

128

Or simply turn left, turn right.

129

So if there are more than two intersections, you can use this phrase.

130

Take the second, take the third, or take the fourth left.

131

Take the second right.

132

Look at this one.

133

I want to say go and reach point B, but don't stop and continue going.

134

What can I say?

135

Go straight on past.

136

B. It means go on, reach B, but don't stop.

137

Continue going.

138

Now, imagine B is a post office.

139

I can say go straight on past the post office.

140

All right.

141

Now look at this one.

142

What is this?

143

This is a roundabout.

144

A roundabout can have four, five or six possible directions.

145

Okay how can I say which direction to take?

146

Well the first thing I want to tell you is with the word roundabout we use the preposition at

147

so we say at the roundabout okay now imagine i want to get from point a to point b

148

or point a to point c

149

or point a to point d what can i say i can use this phrase take the

150

exit at the roundabout now instead of the blank part we should say first second third fourth fifth sixth seventh

151

or as many exits as there are for example

152

if you want to go from a to b you can

153

say take the first exit at the roundabout from a to

154

c take the second exit at the roundabout from a to d

155

take the third exit at the roundabout there is also another way i can say turn right at the roundabout

156

or turn left at the roundabout or go straight on past the roundabout.

157

So there are many different ways of giving directions.

158

And finally, after arriving, you can say it is on your right or it is on your left.

159

Or you can use the prepositions of place that we talked about earlier in this video.

160

It's between A and B.

161

It's between gas station and the library.

162

It's on the corner of 1st and 2nd street.

163

And now, before we continue with the last part of this lesson,

164

if you want to receive free PDF file of the lesson summary of this video

165

and every other videos when I post one on YouTube, what you need to do is to give me your email address.

166

167

169

170

You will receive an email with a pdf file of the

171

summary of the lesson every time I post a new lesson on YouTube.

172

And that is entirely for free.

173

Okay, now let's get to the last part of this video.

174

I have a challenge for you.

175

Look at this map.

176

It's a map of a part of a city.

177

And then you see there are lots of intersections and there is also a roundabout.

178

Now imagine we want to start from point A on the map, which is my house or your house,

179

and we want to get to the hospital following the red path on the map.

180

Excuse me, could you tell me how I can get to the hospital?

181

So what you need to do is to give me directions to the hospital.

182

So start typing and let me know in the comments down below.

183

See ya.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
