Dear Teachers,

1. Ok! First, Just come/ go out of this place, go straight Washington Street. Just drop the first crossroads / intersection , and get/ go to the second crossroads / intersection, turn right. Keep moving/ going straight about 200 metres, it’ll be on your right beside a grocery/ a grocery store.

2. Just go along on/ carry on along this street, you’ll see a T / a T-junction, turn right into this road, you’ll see a small/ a little alley on the left. Just turn into the alley, Go straight about 10 metres, it’ll be o the right next to a small food shop.

3. Just go past/ go through the church about 20 metres, it’ll be on the right, right beside a big beauty saloon, and opposite a big company. It’s very easy to find, you can’t miss it.

4. – How can I get to your house from here?
- How can I go to your house from here?

- Are these sentences right and natural to say?

Thanks a lot

When you get to the fork in the road, take it!

Go down Washington Street two blocks and turn right.  About 200 yards from the intersection there's a grocery store on the right.  It'll be right next to it.

Because you say metres, it appears you prefer British English, so I'll leave the rest to someone who is more familiar with BrE.

Well I am not British nor am I a teacher...so I will give it a shot  Smile [:)]
2. Go down this street until you come to a T.  Turn right onto that road and shortly you will see a little alley to your left.  Turn left into the alleyway and about 10 meters down the road you will see the place to your right next to a small food shop.

3. Go down this road past the church for about 20 meters.  It will be to your right, right by a big beauty saloon and across the street from a big company.  It's very easy to find.  You can't miss it.
