同義詞
  • opposite

    slightly more formal; 'opposite' can also function as an adjective ('the opposite side'), whereas 'across from' is only a prepositional phrase.

  • facing

    focuses on orientation rather than position across a gap; 'facing' usually describes two things looking towards each other.

反義詞
  • next to

    means beside or adjacent, not on the opposite side.

文法句型

[verb] + across from + [noun/pronoun]

用法筆記

Frequently used after verbs of position such as live, sit, stand, or be. The phrase always requires an object — you cannot say 'The bank is across from' without mentioning what it is across from. For example: 'The bank is across from the post office' (not just 'The bank is across from').

常見錯誤

The supermarket is across.
The supermarket is across from the park.
'across from' must be followed by a noun or pronoun; 'across' alone is not a preposition.
