Today you will review where places are, learn the words of addresses (St., Ave., Blvd.…), use on and at correctly, say house numbers like an American (1215 = "twelve fifteen"), and ask follow-up questions: "What's the cross street?" · "What floor do you live on?"

🛣️ Street Words And Abbreviations
There are many words for streets. Their short forms (abbreviations) are used mostly in written addresses — on letters, documents and envelopes. Click a sign!
Use a capital letter when the street word is part of a name: "I live on Fourth Avenue." ✅ But: "It's a long avenue." (no name, no capital).
🛣️ on + the street
- I live on Maple Road.
- The library is on Pine Street.
🔢 at + the number
- I live at 1215 Maple Road.
- The library is at 57 Pine Street.
🎯 On Or At?
A street alone → on. A number + street → at. 8 sentences!
🔢 Saying Street Numbers
Americans say house numbers in a special way. It depends on how many numerals the number has.
43 Central Boulevard = forty-three
570 = five seventy · 1215 = twelve fifteen
11743 = one one seven four three
406 = four oh six · 1208 = twelve oh eight
