find it in the cupboard.

Examples:

going to the end of the street.

car door is very small so it’s difficult to get into.
Distance
We
use adverbials to show how
far things are:
Examples:

For example: Up, down, around,
away, north, southeast
- Adverbs of place can refer to
distances. For example: Nearby,
far away, miles apart
- An adverb of place can indicate an
object’s position in relation to another object. For example:Below, between,
above, behind, through, around and
so forth.
- Many adverbs of place indicate
movement in a particular direction and end in the letters “-ward or -wards”.
For example: Toward, forward,
backward, homeward, westward, eastwards onwards
