Locate places accuratelyحَدِّدْ مَوْقِعَ المَكَانِ بِدِقَّةٍ
Use agreement with near and far, then learn the fixed expressions that position one place relative to another.
المَسْجِدُ قَرِيبٌ مِنَ البَيْتِ.
البَنْكُ بَعِيدٌ عَنِ المَدْرَسَةِ.
الصَّيْدَلِيَّةُ قَرِيبَةٌ مِنَ البَيْتِ.
المَحَطَّةُ بَعِيدَةٌ عَنِ الحَدِيقَةِ.
Common mistake
Use قَرِيبٌ مِنْ but بَعِيدٌ عَنْ. Do not swap the prepositions.

سَلْمَى: عُذْرًا، كَيْفَ أَذْهَبُ إِلَى المَكْتَبَةِ مِنَ المَدْرَسَةِ؟
عُمَر: سِيرِي مُسْتَقِيمًا فِي شَارِعِ النَّهْضَةِ. سَتَرَيْنَ بَنْكًا عَلَى يَسَارِكِ وَصَيْدَلِيَّةً عَلَى يَمِينِكِ. عِنْدَ إِشَارَةِ المُرُورِ، اِنْعَطِفِي يَمِينًا وَاعْبُرِي الشَّارِعَ عِنْدَ مَعْبَرِ المُشَاةِ. المَكْتَبَةُ بِجَانِبِ الحَدِيقَةِ العَامَّةِ وَمُقَابِلَ المَطْعَمِ. هِيَ قَرِيبَةٌ مِنَ المَحَطَّةِ.
سَلْمَى: شُكْرًا جَزِيلًا.

أَسْكُنُ فِي حَيٍّ هَادِئٍ. بَيْتِي قَرِيبٌ مِنَ المَدْرَسَةِ وَبَعِيدٌ عَنِ المَحَطَّةِ. أَمَامَ بَيْتِي حَدِيقَةٌ عَامَّةٌ، وَخَلْفَ الحَدِيقَةِ مَلْعَبٌ كَبِيرٌ. الصَّيْدَلِيَّةُ بِجَانِبِ السُّوبَرْمَارْكِتِ، وَالمَكْتَبَةُ مُقَابِلَ البَنْكِ. أُحِبُّ حَيِّي لِأَنَّهُ جَمِيلٌ وَآمِنٌ.
