Hi, Very Happy


Could you explaine what the following sentence means?


She left for the evening. (Does this mean "She left for the day." so she wouldn't come back?)



A: Excuse me, how do you get to Tony's deli?
B: That bus over there. --> This response sounds okay?



A: Where will the new desk go?
B: Across from the restaurant. --> This response makes sense or not?


Each of the (two) tables are old and dusty. --> Does "each" can refer to "two"? Does this sentence is grammatically correct?


For these four qeustions, I need help. I appreciate your reply.

She left at the end of the day. She's not coming back today.

" Catch or take that bus over there" is a rather vague instruction, but there's nothing wrong with the English.

I guess a desk can go across from a restaurant, but it sounds a bit unusual.

"Each of the tables is old and dusty" - is correct English.
