Giving directions
Hi, ..
The following example sentence is on a webpage discussing giving directions in English:
"Keep going down this street, then turn left on to Mayfair Street, and it will be left around the corner from the petrol station."
- Is the mentioned corner at the turn left onto "Mayfair Street", i.e. it connects the initial street (the sreet which we're supposed to go down) with "Mayfair Street", or does it occur later at some point along "Mayfair Street"?
- What does ".. the corner from the petrol station" mean? Does it mean the petrol station is directly on that corner?
- is it on to, or onto?
Thanks in advance.
