[@dianamulaikhanova]

Where do I use around the corner from and on the corner of, what is the difference, I really want to know

[@ellii]

Hi! Good question. Use "around the corner from" when there are two buildings or locations and "on the corner of" when there are two streets. For example, "The bank is around the corner from the movie theatre." and "The bank is on the corner of Main Street and Smith Street." Hope that helps!

[@mallikalipikadas]

Please tell me the use of " around the corner from"

[@ellii]

We use "around the corner from" for buildings or places. For example, we can say "The bank is around the corner from the pharmacy." This means that both buildings are at or near the corner, but they're on two different streets. If we say "on the corner of," it's only for one building that is built right at the corner and is on two streets (though the front entrance might only be on one street). For example, I can say "The movie theatre is on the corner of Granville Street and Robson Street."

[@angryinsaan21]

Amazing you are doing very hardworking in your videos 🙂

[@ellii]

Thank you! By the way, it's best to say "You are doing very hard work in your videos" or "You are working very hard in your videos." 😊

[@MilkGulperReal]

Cool

[@lancedanc]

prepositions of direction were the hardest for me

[@ellii]

You're not alone! The teachers at Ellii found their students often struggled with prepositions of direction (and asking for directions/giving directions). They can be tricky!

[@travisking6595]

Boots flies over the ocean.

[@tommymantilla4808]

what's the difference between "near" and "next to" ?

[@ellii]

Great question! "Next to" is directly beside someone or something. "Near" means close to someone or something, and it's usually a bit farther away than "next to." Common examples are "I live next to a bank" (= my house and the bank are side-by-side) and "I live near a bank" (= my house is on the same block as the bank, maybe about 3 or 4 buildings apart). For more examples, check out our Prepositions of Place video: ua-cam.com/video/kq65VGkVwC8/v-deo.htmlsi=HdsenLOO6mWtETQr

[@jojo_ligma]

is preposition of direction and place the same?

[@ellii]

Mostly yes. For example, the preposition "behind" in "The bank is behind the bakery" is a preposition of place or direction. But some direction prepositions such as "around the corner from" are not usually considered prepositions of place.

[@silvanaokbit1464]

German verbo Of location

[@ellii]

That's interesting, Silvana! Do you use verbs instead of prepositions to give directions in German?
