GIVING DIRECTION
If you're in a new town or city and you want to know where a place or
building is, these are useful phrases for asking for directions. There are also
phrases for giving directions to other people who ask you for help.

How you can ask for directions


Say "Excuse me" before you ask a person. Then say:
How do I get to ?
What's the best way to ?
Where is ?
Example:
"Excuse me. How do I get to (the railway station) please?"
"Excuse me. Where's the nearest (post office) please?"
"Excuse me. I'm looking for the Number 6 bus stop."
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS OF GIVING DIRECTION
Here are some useful words and phrases for giving directions on the street.
Maybe you're helping a driver, or someone who stops you to ask for
directions. Example:
"Turn left / right."
"Go straight on at the lights / when you come to the crossroads." (Lights =
traffic lights; crossroads = where two roads cross)
"Go across the roundabout." (Roundabout = where all the cars go round a
circle in the middle of the road)
"Take the first turning/road/street on your left/right." (Turning= road that
goes left or right)
"You'll see / You'll come to a (bank). Then "
"Don't take the first road."
"Go on for about (2 minutes / 100 metres)."
