Assume that a guy on the street asks me the address of a drugstore nearby and this conversation happens, what are the mistakes?
-There are two ways that you can take. Do you have a vehicle or | you're walking? | (or | you're by foot? |)
- I don't have a vehicle.(or I'm by foot?)
- Ok, go on the street at the end of this alley, and then you will see a small intersection quite near, go toward it and turn left.(Is it possible to say 'take the left' or 'veer left' here too?) Pass the first stoplight, then take the right fork, it's a one-way street, go 600 or 700 meters and the drugstore is there.
- Wow! Thanks for your help, but I can't memorize it, would you please say it again so that I can write it in my cellphone? ![]()
