phrases

[Map]

S. State St. (話すときに、方位はつけずに話す。)

To get from the Museum of Art to the State Theater, go north on State Street.

It's about 1 or 2 blocks.

It's 1 block, but it's a long block.



"walk up and down the street" = "walk back and forth on the street"

行きつ戻りつ

walk one direction and then the other
downtown= shopping district in the center of town
uptown= ???
Around here, there really aren't any cheap places to stay.

until it runs into State St.
T intersection(T-shaped intersection,S. State St. and N. University make a T-shaped intersection.)
N. University doesn't continue past State St.
That's why I say N. University "runs into" S. State St.

Often answer by time

How far does it take from here?
How long does it take from here? （時間）
How far is it from here? （距離）
最後の質問が距離を聞くのに、答えはよく時間を言います。例：
A: How far is it from here?
B: About 2 miles. （正確な答え）
B: About 5 minutes by car. （よく使った答え）


Add "a"

Is there theather around here?
Is there a theater around here?
この場合には：
"a theater" / "a theatre" = 建物（映画館やシアターなど）（具象名詞）
"theater" / "theatre" = 演劇（抽象名詞）。実は「Is there theater around here?」（「a」を省いた）の意味は「この近いでは演劇をやっていますか」です。
