CLOSE TO vs NEAR / ON THE DECLINE

How would you say these please?

- He works very close to/near my house. So he stops by after work.

- The pullout couch doesn't have a stragth surface, the surface you sleep on is on a decline. (the mattress isn't straigth, the matress dents at the seam)
When can you use "on a decline"?

How would you say these 2 questions?

Hot water will wake me up. So turn the hot up. (shower)

I started working the night shift once I had gotten the hang of the job.

Thank you

  • (the mattress isn't straight , the mattress dents at the seam).
  • The pull-out couch doesn't have an even surface - there's an indentation at the seam.
  • 'indent': this is a slight hollow made by a blow or by pressure.
