Grammar
across/ across from / opposite
across from/ across/ opposite what are the differences among them? can anyone explain it to me...
Top answer
A is across from B. A is across (the street/table/world from) B. A is opposite B.
- A is across from B.
- A is across (the street/table/world from) B.
- A is opposite B.
- No real definable difference that I can see, GB, except for highly collocated cases (across the world) and their slightly different structure ( across takes the preposition, opposite does not) Other opinions likely exist.
