(Zc6mo puedo encontrar un café?, ¢dénde hay un café?) es muy si- milar en su significado, pero un poco mas informal. Como ésta, pueden hacerse estas otras preguntas: How can | find a restaurant? How can I find a hotel? How can | find a police-station? How can | find a cinema? También puede empezar la pregunta con where? (¢d6nde?). Por ejemplo: Where can I find a restaurant? Go, turn Cuando se indivan direcciones, se usa la forma imperativa del verbo: Go down the street. Esto es muy sencillo, ya que, en inglés, el imperativo es igual que el infinitivo. 17/129OALoUE How can I find a café? It’s on your right (Philip esta de vacaciones.

Pero solo a tres minutos en But it's only three minutes Maria: by car. coche, ores How far is it to...? En la leccién 7 practicamos la pregunta How far are we from...? (gesta- mos muy lejos de...?). He aqui otra forma de preguntar a qué distancia nos encontramos de un lugar: How far is it to...? (cesta muy lejos...?). Es decir, que podemos preguntar: How far is it to the nearest café? How far is it to the nearest police-station? How far is it to the nearest bank? By car En coche, Cuando hablamos acerca de viajes, by se usa antes del vehicu- lo. Por ejemplo: by car en coche by taxi en taxi by bus enautobis by train en tren by plane en avién Cuando nos referimos al andar, sin embargo, usamos la preposicién on. Por ejemplo: On foot (a pie). 18/137Novss Minute, minutes — Recuerde que los nombres ingleses generalmente hacen el plural afiadien- do la letra s (véase leccién 7). Por ejemplo: One minute, ten minutes; por eso Maria dijo: It’s only ten minutes by car. En la expresin a twen- ty minute walk parece que después de veinte deberia ir minutes, pero en estos casos (p. ej., a twenty minute walk, a thirty minute film) la pala- bra se escribe en singular. En este caso también se puede decir: It’s twen- ty minutes walk, y hay personas que mezclan las dos formas cuando ha- blan deprisa, y dicen: It’s a ttventy minutes’ walk.
