Understanding Prepositions of Direction
As the explorers moved through the dense jungle, they followed a narrow trail that led them towards the riverbank. The path twisted and turned, guiding them around obstacles and over fallen logs. Occasionally, they looked up at the canopy above, where birds fluttered between branches, indicating the direction of the prevailing wind. Their map showed a clear route, but the terrain often required them to navigate around rocks and through thick undergrowth. They were advised to keep to the left of the large oak tree and to stay close to the river to avoid getting lost.
