Dear Teacher,
When I read a magazine find two sentences:
The map and compass say go north.
My question: is "go" a verb? Is "north" a noun? Please explain the structure of the sentence.
With the temperature creeping into the mid-90s, the little water left in my bottle is getting warm.
My question: what's the meaning of mid-90s? What's the meaning of "s" here?
Thanks in advance.

Hey, mid-90's means that the temperature is somewhat between 90-99 degrees Farenheit. You use this for example when you say: Life was different in the 80's. In the 80's here means from the year of 1980 to 1989.

Hi Learnenglish,
Yes, "go" can be a verb," and "north" is the direction you travel. I suppose it's an adverb here.
The map and compass say I should travel in a northward direction.
The mid-90s means the temperature is around 95 degrees F -- maybe as low as 93 or as high as 97 -- say around 34-36 degrees C.
