πΉ What is Direction & Position?

π Where something is located
π How it is positioned compared to another object
π Simple question:
βWhere is it?β
π΅ 1. NEXT TO = Beside (very close)
π Use βnext toβ when something is right beside another thing
π§ Easy Idea:
π Side by side, almost touching
β Examples:

- The school is next to the park
π There is no gap or very small gap
π΄ 2. BEHIND = At the back
π Use βbehindβ when something is at the back side of another thing
π§ Easy Idea:

π‘ 4. NEAR = Close (but not touching)
