Directions 问路与指路
问路与指路：left、right、straight、turn、corner、cross、far、road、map、way。核心语法是指路的祈使句——Go straight，Turn left，Turn right——以及 "How do I get to …?"。说 "turn left"，不是 "turn to left"：动词直接接方向，不加 "to"。韩语用助词标记方向，所以韩语母语者会多加一个 "to"："Turn to left" ✗ → "Turn left" ✓。
Dialogue
turn to left or turn left? — turn to left 还是 turn left？
- Emma Minsu, how do I get to the bank? 民秀，银行怎么走？
- Minsu Go straight and turn to left. 直走然后左转。（口误：不加 "to"——"turn left"）
- Emma Just "turn left" — no "to". 只说 "turn left"——不加 "to"。
- Minsu Oh, turn left. The bank is on the right. 哦，左转。银行在右边。
Dialogue
How do I get to the station? — 车站怎么走？

- Stranger Go straight and turn right at the corner. 直走，在拐角处右转。

Grammar
指路："Turn left"
Explanation
指路用动词原形（祈使句）：Go straight。Turn left。Turn right。Cross the road。说 "turn left" 和 "turn right" 不加 "to"——动词直接接方向。说某物在哪，用 "on the left / on the right"：The bank is on the right。问路说 "How do I get to …?"：How do I get to the station? 韩语用助词（如 "-로"）标记方向，所以韩语母语者多加 "to" 说 "Turn to left"——英语里去掉它：Turn left。
Examples
- Go straight and turn left. 直走然后左转。
- The bank is on the right. 银行在右边。
- Turn right at the corner. 在拐角处右转。
- How do I get to the station? — Go straight, then turn left. 车站怎么走？——直走，然后左转。
