Finding Places in Your Neighborhood

Knowing how to ask for directions is very useful when you’re in a new place. The first question you might ask is, “Where is it?” This question helps you find out about different locations, like shops, parks, and public transport.

For example, if you want to find a bank, you could ask someone, “Where is the nearest bank?” Often, they will use prepositions to explain where it is. They might say, “The bank is next to the supermarket.” This indicates its position relative to another place.

Similarly, if you are looking for a café, you could ask, “Is there a café nearby?” The person might respond, “Yes, it’s across from the park.” By learning these phrases and prepositions, you can easily navigate your surroundings and explore new neighborhoods.
