Asking/giving directions

Hello,

I'm learning how to asking and give directions in English.

Right now, I've got two questions and hope someone could give me a hand.

1.Can I say, "Excuse me, how do I go to Sogo department?" instead of "How do I get to Sogo department?"

2.What's the difference among "Go up the road for two blocks",

"Go down the road for two blocks" and

"Go along the road for two blocks"?

Are they interchangable?

Thanks for answering my questions! Emotion: smile

" You can say it, but 'get to' is more often used, and you will be understood better if you use the same expressions that others use more often. What's the difference among "Go up the road for two blocks", "Go down the road for two blocks" and "Go along the road for two blocks"? Are they interchangable?

  • They are interchangeable on a flat road.
  • If the road actually ascends, use "up"; if it descends, use "down".
