Directions

Teachers, could you tell me the following, thank you.
When giving directioins, how should I use the verb "carry on"?
If I tell people to go along the street and cross two other streets, and continue to walk on the same street, what should I say?
How do I use the cinema as the reference to tell people where the bookshop is when it is not immediately opposite the cinema, it is like this:
bookshop
______________________________________________________


______________________________________________________
cinema

In this case, is "carry on "synonym to "go straight ahead"?

Thanks, Mister M.

'If two shops are on the two ends of a diagonal of an intersection, how would you tell the location of one shop by giving the location of the other shop?' This question seems clearly written.

You can say 'the bookshop is diagonally across from/opposite the cinema'. In my family, my mother always said 'the bookshop is kitty-cornered from the cinema'. I thought this was slang, but I see from my dictionary that it has many similar forms which have been around since 1838 at least. I do not know how widely it is understood, though.

There is no quick way of describing this situation in Brit English

Interestingly cool, Nona. Would BrE have caterways or caterwise? (I'm not sure if they're all that common today in North American English.)

It has lots of variant forms, such as catercorner, kitty-cornered, cata-cornered, and cater-cornered, a sure sign that it puzzles users. The first part comes from the French word quatre, four. It’s actually quite an old expression that first appeared in English as the name for the four in dice, soon Anglicised to cater. The standard placement of the four dots at the corners of a square almost certainly introduced the idea of diagonals. From this came a verb cater, to place something diagonally opposite another or to move diagonally, which can be found in the sixteenth century. Some English dialects had it as an adverb in compounds such as caterways or caterwise. By the early years of the nineteenth century it was beginning to be recorded in the USA in the compound form of cater-cornered. It had by then lost any link with the French word; people invented spellings in attempts to make sense of it, often thinking it had something to do with cats, which is why we have forms like kitty-corner.
