You need to find the nearest pharmacy. Which question do you ask?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: C)Excuse me, where is the pharmacy?
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "Excuse me, where is the pharmacy?". Asking a stranger for directions has two parts, a polite opener and the question word that gets the information needed, and both have to be right. The distractors each get one of those parts wrong, and the abrupt version is included deliberately because a grammatically correct request can still be the wrong thing to say to someone you do not know.

Respuesta correcta: C)Excuse me, where is the pharmacy?
A)Where is the pharmacy? Go now.The first sentence is a correct request, but the added command is abrupt and inappropriate to a stranger.
B)Excuse me, what is the pharmacy?What is asks for a definition rather than a location, so it would not get directions.
C)Excuse me, where is the pharmacy?Excuse me is the polite opener and where is asks for the location of a specific place.
D)How much is the pharmacy?How much asks for a price, and a pharmacy is a place rather than something that is sold.

Using the preposition on with a street name in directions.
Which sentence gives a correct instruction?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: A)Turn right on Seventh Street.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "Turn right on Seventh Street". Street names take on in English and students rarely get this wrong by accident, because no other preposition sounds right, so it is a high-confidence item placed where the harder instruction structures are already established. The three wrong prepositions are the ones a student reaches for without a rule to stop them.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: A)Turn right on Seventh Street.
A)Turn right on Seventh Street.On is the preposition English uses for a street name, and it names the road the turn happens on.
B)Turn right in Seventh Street.In would place the turn inside the street rather than on it, and streets take on rather than in.
C)Turn right at Seventh Street.At names a point in general, and English uses on when a street or road is the reference.
D)Turn right of Seventh Street.Of expresses a relationship between two nouns and is not the preposition for a street name here.

Following a written direction from a short text.
Read: "The bakery is next to the pharmacy, opposite the park." What is the bakery next to?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: D)The pharmacy.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "The pharmacy". The text gives two relations in one line, next to and opposite, and telling them apart is the whole reading task. Students who skim often swap them, so pausing to check which relation goes with which pair of places is the habit this item builds, and it is needed for every map or route question in the exam.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: D)The pharmacy.
A)The park.The bakery is opposite the park, which is a different relation from being next to something.
B)The bus stop.No bus stop appears in the text, and the two relations given are next to and opposite.
C)The bank.The bank is not mentioned in this text at all, so there is no support for that relationship.
D)The pharmacy.The text says the bakery is next to the pharmacy, so the two are the neighbouring buildings.

Using the imperative to give a direction.
Which sentence correctly gives a direction to somebody walking?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: B)Turn left at the traffic light.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "Turn left at the traffic light". Directions are given with the imperative, whose form in English is the bare verb, and students who ask for the subject produce a statement rather than a command. Practising the imperative separately from the preposition means the two elements of an instruction can both be right instead of one being lost.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: B)Turn left at the traffic light.
A)You turn left at the traffic light.This is a statement about what somebody does rather than an instruction, so it would not direct a listener.
B)Turn left at the traffic light.The imperative of turn takes the bare form, and at the traffic light names the point where the turn happens.
C)Turning left at the traffic light.The -ing form is not an instruction on its own, since it has no subject and no auxiliary.
D)To turn left at the traffic light.The infinitive to turn is not an instruction in English, which uses the bare imperative form instead.
💡 Explicación

Choosing the verb that names going from one place to another on foot.
You move from the hotel to the museum without using any vehicle. Which verb describes this?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: A)walk
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "walk". The verbs of transport are a small set that students often mix up, and each one carries a clear picture of how the person is moving. A student who can choose the verb from the situation can both follow and give directions, which is what the next stage of this week's work requires.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: A)walk
A)walkWalk is the verb for moving along on your own feet, which is what travelling between two places without a vehicle means.
B)driveDriving requires a vehicle, and the situation described rules any vehicle out.
C)flyFlying is a long distance form of transport, and it is the opposite of travelling on foot here.
D)rideRiding goes with a bicycle, a horse or a bus, and no such vehicle is involved in this journey.

Understanding a sequence of directions given in a short dialogue.
A person says: "Go straight ahead, then turn left at the corner. The school is on your right." Which place is on the right?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: D)The school.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "The school". Three instructions arrive in sequence and the student has to keep track of the direction changes in order to follow the last one. The other two distractors are invented places, and the corner is a real one but on the wrong side, so the item separates memory of the content from understanding of the directions.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: D)The school.
A)The corner.The corner is the point where the turn happens, and it is on the left because the turn is a left turn.
B)The bank.No bank is mentioned in the dialogue, so this cannot be identified from what was said.
C)The pharmacy.No pharmacy is mentioned anywhere in these directions.
D)The school.The sentence states directly that the school is on your right, so that is the place named on that side.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "The school". Three instructions arrive in sequence and the student has to keep track of the direction changes in order to follow the last one. The other two distractors are invented places, and the corner is a real one but on the wrong side, so the item separates memory of the content from understanding of the directions.

Using the preposition between to describe a position on a street.
Which sentence says that the museum is between the bank and the library?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: B)The museum is between the bank and the library.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "The museum is between the bank and the library". Between is a two-part preposition that names a position in the middle of something, and it needs two items joined by and. Students rarely get this wrong once it is practised, which makes it a reliable item, but the two-part pattern also explains related prepositions such as next to and opposite that the same week uses.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: B)The museum is between the bank and the library.
A)The museum is between the bank and the library to.The extra to at the end has no function, and the phrase would be ungrammatical as written.
B)The museum is between the bank and the library.Between takes two names joined by and, which is the pattern for naming a position in the middle of two places.
C)The museum is between of the bank and the library.Between does not take of before its two names, so the preposition appears wrongly here.
D)The museum is between the bank or the library.Between pairs two places with and rather than or, which would make the relationship uncertain.

Finding the error in a set of written directions.
Read: "Turn right on Fifth Avenue, and the bank is between the pharmacy and the post office." What is wrong?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: A)The sentence has no error.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "The sentence has no error". Both prepositions in the sentence are correct, and accepting a correct text is a real skill that students often lack because they assume a question must have something wrong in it. Each distractor names a defect that sounds plausible but is not present, so the item trains the student to verify rather than to hunt for a fault.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: A)The sentence has no error.
A)The sentence has no error.Both the preposition on the street name and the two-part between construction are used correctly here.
B)A bank is not a place on a street.A bank is an ordinary building on a street, so there is nothing implausible about the place named.
C)The preposition on before a street name is wrong.On is the correct preposition for a street or avenue name, so the first instruction is fine.
D)The turn should be a left turn.Nothing in the sentence indicates a direction that must be left rather than right, so this is not an error.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "The sentence has no error".

Respuesta correcta: D)The sentence is a statement rather than an instruction.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "The sentence is a statement rather than an instruction". The preposition and the verb are both correct, and the only problem is the added subject that changes the meaning from a command to a description. Recognising that a sentence can be perfectly grammatical yet the wrong thing to say in a situation is the pragmatic awareness this week is building towards.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: D)The sentence is a statement rather than an instruction.
A)On is the wrong preposition for a corner.A corner is treated as a point in English and does take the preposition on, so that part is correct.
B)A corner cannot be a place on a street.Corners are ordinary features of streets and are named constantly when giving directions.
C)The verb turn is in the wrong tense.The imperative is not marked for tense in English, so the form turn is correct for a direction.
D)The sentence is a statement rather than an instruction.Directions must use the imperative bare form, so the subject You turns the instruction into a statement about somebody else.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "The sentence is a statement rather than an instruction". The preposition and the verb are both correct, and the only problem is the added subject that changes the meaning from a command to a description.

Deciding which set of directions is the clearest for a visitor.
A visitor needs to reach the station. Which set of directions is most helpful?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: C)Go straight ahead for two blocks, turn left at the bank, and the station is on your right next to the park.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is the one with distance, a turn landmark and a final position. Good directions in any city depend on the same three things, and judging whether a set of instructions actually enables someone to get there is a real evaluative task rather than a grammar check. The three distractors each fail in a different way, by being vague, by being repetitive or by refusing to help, so choosing correctly means applying the criterion rather than guessing.

Respuesta correcta: C)Go straight ahead for two blocks, turn left at the bank, and the station is on your right next to the park.
A)Turn, turn, turn, and then you will see it.This says nothing about which way to turn or what to look for, so the visitor would still be lost.
B)The station is very important and it is near something.This gives no usable direction at all, since it names neither a turn nor a landmark.
C)Go straight ahead for two blocks, turn left at the bank, and the station is on your right next to the park.This gives distance, a landmark to turn at and a final position, so the visitor can follow it without help.
D)Everyone knows where the station is.This dismisses the visitor's question rather than answering it, and offers no help at all.
