It is very helpful if you mention landmarks (places which are well known or easy to locate) like a bus stand, a lake, a bridge, big offices and schools, etc. while giving directions.
Describing Position
To give directions using the location of well known places, we use location or position words called ‘prepositions’. (Tip: prepositions show position). There are some other prepositions which are used to show time, but in this lesson we will practice using the position words.
Some of these words are — on, near to, opposite, in front of.
Figure shows examples of giving directions to a place (Cosmos Mall). Different prepositions have been used to give directions based on nearby landmarks.
