About 'stair' and giving directions

It will be the first one because you are explaining that when they get to the top of the stairs, they will see the bookshop.

ChristanfordHi,

Is it "You will see a bookshop at the top of the stairs" or "You will see a bookshop on the top of the stairs"?

I have some difficulty giving directions to people. Could you please provide me with some standard phrases?

Thanks in advance

Try this, Christanford: Pretend you are at work and a visitor ask

Thanks.

Go straight and turn right when you see the library. Then go down the stairs to the ground floor (or go down one floor to the ground floor?). Keep walking along the corridor and turn left at the end and you will see the lavatory.


Thanks in advance!

You can say "go down one flight of stairs to the ground floor" if the person doesn't already know what floor they are one, but just "go down the stairs to the ground floor" is fine.

But at the bottom of the stairs, is it clear what direction they will go? Does the hall end at a T?

Just head straight when you get to the bottom of the stairs, and that hall ends in a T. Turn left

Thank you very much!
