May L.  +  362095 Tue, 08 May 07 04:33 PM Here is my problem: is it always ground floor, then first floor, or can the floors be counted first floor, second floor etc.? Does the count always begin with the ground floor or can it begin with the first floor? May L. Joined on Fri, May 27 2005 Russia New Member 41

In NAmE the floor at street level is usually called the first floor, the one above it is the second floor and the one below it is the basement. In public buildings the floor at street level can also be called the ground floor.
