Saying "go down the street" or "go up the street" really makes no difference (unless they are numbered streets, like First Avenue; Second Avenue; Third Avenue, etc. It's "go straight ahead" (one word).
Names of streets are never preceded by the word 'the.' "Turn right on Main Street."
You can also say "Go up this street until you get to a supermarket; then turn right." (This is in a situation when you don't know the name of the street but you know there is a supermarket on the corner.)
Other useful phrases: "on the corner of" - "next to" - "across from" or "opposite" or "on the other side of the street" "The bank is across from the pharmacy." or "The bank is opposite the pharmacy." or "The bank is on the other side of the street from the pharmacy."
Hope this helps! :D |

Thank you very much you are very kind, now i know that go along, go down and go up are the same, there is no different. Those are only expression to say that you should go follow this road and there are some variations to say that, right.
Thank you very much |
