fold scarf 101 Are these both grammatically correct? Yes, but number one is a strange thing to say because it uses a smutty slang definition of "go down" that would rarely be appropriate. If all you want is an imperative sentence directing someone to descend to the 13th floor, then number one is wrong, and number two is right.

  • OK, number one is barely possible in casual speech in my US dialect to mean "What you asked me about is on the 13th floor, and that's where you'll find it", but don't bother with that.
