🐯 Do You See This Building On The Left I agree with you, thanks for an explanation. As always all ingenious is simple.

I have encountered these expressions today, when I was describing a photo. People are lining up in the picture. I wanted to explain someone who is standing next to the person on the far left. And I started to wonder if there is any difference between 'the person second on the left' and 'the person second to the left'. 200_success6,8961 gold badge32 silver badges56 bronze badges asked Jan 10, 2015 at 1620 Let's keep this simple. When looking at a picture, the idiomatic expression is second from the left. = Starting from the left count to the right. By itself, second to the left does not establish a definitive location. A particular point of reference must be specifically identified or clearly understood. Example Second to my left identifies me as the point of reference. Count to the left of me. A similar problem arises with second on the left. The expression on the left generally implies a particular frame has been divided into two parts left and right. By itself second on the left creates a mental conflict, since second does not complement on the left. Again Second on my left identifies me as the dividing line between right and left, allowing the listener to infer accurately the person second to my left. answered Jan 10, 2015 at 1715 Good gold badge7 silver badges18 bronze badges 1 If the people in this photo source Usual Suspects film are numbered 1 to 5 from left to right, I would describe number 2 as second on the left or second from the left. That is, he is second from the left hand side of the photo. However, if you asked "Which one is dressed all in black?" you could reply "The man second to the left of number 4." In this case to indicates direction, that you should go leftwards from number 4. answered Jan 10, 2015 at 1652 MynamiteMynamite7,6753 gold badges24 silver badges36 bronze badges 3 I would say the person standing second from left. answered Jan 10, 2015 at 1633 0 I would understand the phrases as follows Second from the left starting at the left, moving towards the right, the second person in. Second to the left starting at the right, moving towards the left, the second person in. In other words, second to the left = second from the right. answered Jan 10, 2015 at 1728 gold badges33 silver badges49 bronze badges

From this point, they find the angle of elevation from the street to the top of the building to be 39°. They then move 300 feet closer to the building and find the angle of elevation to be 50°. Assuming that the street is level, estimate the height of the building to the nearest foot.

1 WHen do you say on the left or to the left? Is there any differnce in terms of meaning? For example, which one is right? My desk is on the left of the cabinet or My desk is to the left of the dabinet. 2 "to the left" means something is next to another thing but on the left side. 3 When do you say on the left or to the left? Is there any difference in terms of meaning? For example, which one is right? My desk is on the left of the cabinet or My desk is to the left of the cabinet. I think both of those are understandable, but I would expect to hear the second version more frequently than the first. But can others chime in about any difference in meaning? If we were using a person rather than an object as the reference point, the switch between 'on' and 'to' would change the meaning. For example, "The desk is on Bosun's left" means something different than "The desk is to the left of Bosun." Would you ever interpret "My desk is on the left of the cabinet" to mean that the desk is on the cabinet's left our right? 4 I don't know whether you'll find it helpful, but I "fixed" this sort of problem by the idea that "on" is "static" /your focus is on one point and "to" involves in one way or another "movement" it is often used with verbs you turn, go, lean, etc. to the left/right... So, if you say where "the point" the desk is, it is on the left. You turn your attention to a definite point. If you talk about the cabinet first because the other person will surely know where that is to define where the desk is "compared to" that the desk is to the left of the cabinet which may involve a turning of the head if your listener first looked at the cabinet - but this "movement" does not have to be physical, it can be just a mental shift. 5 I think both of those are understandable, but I would expect to hear the second version more frequently than the first. But can others chime in about any difference in meaning? If we were using a person rather than an object as the reference point, the switch between 'on' and 'to' would change the meaning. For example, "The desk is on Bosun's left" means something different than "The desk is to the left of Bosun." Would you ever interpret "My desk is on the left of the cabinet" to mean that the desk is on the cabinet's left our right? I found two examples of what you explained. First I'll introduce the speaker sitting on my left. a person It's the shop to the left of the pub. an object A Question Can we say 'turn left to' in the following example? Please turn left to ... street. 6 I have to explain the previous a bit more. When I wrote "if you talk of the cabinet first" - I meant "as a point of departure for the description". Logically, you start off from "there" - not as far as the actual word order of your sentence is concerned. In any case, I strongly feel that the difference is in the nature of "on" and "to" rather than whether they are followed by a thing or a person... 7 Could anyone please explain the difference between "The desk is on Bosun's left" and "The desk is to the left of Bosun." post 3? I read this and some other threads, but I still have questions. I'm describing a photograph and the prepositions are puzzling. I thought all of the following is fine, but now 1 Maria is on / to the left of Oleg 2 Maria is on Oleg's left 3 Maria is to Oleg's left I feel there is no difference, is there? 8 It depends on the position of the speaker. You walk into Bob's office and stop; he is sitting at his desk facing you and there is a single window in the side wall. If the window is on Bob's left, then it is on the right wall from your perspective. If the window is to the left of Bob, then it is on the left wall from your perspective. Now if you're standing right behind him and you're both facing the same way, on Bob's left and to the left of Bob are the same, because you're oriented the same way Bob is, so it's on your left and to the left of you just as it is Bob. 9 Thank you Copyright. Now I see why the meaning is different. But should I always say 'on Bob's left' and not 'to Bob's left'? is it always 'to the left of Bob" and not 'on the left of Bob"? 10 All good The window is on Bob's left. The window is to Bob's left. The window is to the left of Bob. The window is on the left of Bob. 11 The difference between 'on' and 'to' goes back to something Zsanna said in post 4 - "the idea that "on" is "static" ". When I'm looking at the cabinet and the desk, or Bob and the window on the left / to the left makes no difference. When I'm driving my car movement, not static and someone says "Turn to the left." I turn. But if he says "Turn on the left." I make him get out and walk because it sounds so horrible. m 12 Thank you all! Your explanations were very useful. As for the photograph of Maria and Oleg, I will say She is onto Oleg's right from his perspective but She is toon the left of Oleg from our perspective I learned something new today. 13 Hello everyone! I must open again this thread because what you are saying here does not really match with what has been written in this other WR's post. There you find the following example Fork, plate and napkin generally are placed to the left of the dinner plate In this post it is noticed that if we said "Fork, plate and napkin generally are placed on the left of the dinner plate" it would mean "on the left hand side" of the dinner plate on the dinner plate and specifically on the right hand side. I think that in your case My desk is on the left of the cabinet there cannot be misunderstanding as it would be rather unusual to find a desk on a cabinet, by the way from a practical point of view it sounds strange. So the correct way to say what is intended to say is definitely My desk is to the left of the cabinet Look forward to your correction or endorsment! Thanks, Marco

This is a question of "my left or your left". Imagine standing and facing somebody, as if looking in a mirror. Now imagine the person in front of you saying "look left". Which way should you turn your head? it is their left, or your left? The choice you make affects what "left" means. Unlike a human, an object does not have it's own point of view, therefore your left is always the correct answer. Take a look at the image below. The views on the middle row here are from left to right Left, Front, Right, Back. The remainders are Top and Bottom. Imagine that the box is a human being, standing, and facing towards you. The front of the human is their face, "their" left would be on the right hand side, as you look at their front. 3D views are named from the perspective of the viewer The Left view, is on the left of the object when you look at the front, from the outside of the object. Likewise, the back view is on the back of the object, as you look at the front of the object, from outside the object. The simple fact is, that physical objects are looked at from the outside in, not the inside out, and the views are named accordingly jE5l.
