Hi! everyone. Could you tell me whether my understanding of this sentence correct? Turn right a mile past the graveyard and you'll see the church. I think it means when I will turn right, I will see a graveyard and between the graveyard and church, there is a distance of 1 mile. Or does it mean I will have to walk a mile before I get to the graveyard? Thanks!
Top answer
I understand it to mean that you travel for a mile beyond the graveyard, then you turn right and you see the church.
