Anglais : se diriger en ville et vocabulaire urbain

To navigate a city, use the imperative mood for commands like 'turn left' or 'go straight'. Prepositions like 'between', 'opposite', and 'next to' help locate buildings. Common places include the bakery, library, and post office. Always remember that the imperative form never includes a subject. Spatial awareness is key to helping someone find their destination successfully. Practice using these connectors to create clear, step-by-step instructions.
