Dear Teachers,

In English, there are phrases like inside out *in/out*, upside down *up/down*. do you have a phrase to express for *left/right*? leftside right, or lefthand right?

I've never heard of people use it though.

Thank you.

There's "back to front", which is sometimes used if you put the left side of something where the right side should go, and you can also say, "It's the wrong way round", but not, "It's leftside right".

Since you mentioned *It's the wrong way round*, can you also explain to me what's the difference between *round* and *around*? (explain to me what the difference between round and around is?...not sure which one is grammartically correct. )

Thank you.
