Directions

Something is above something else it it is higher up. In the picture, the child is above the soldier.

Something is ahead of you if it is in front, or perhaps in the future. For example, "you are getting too far ahead of me" or "my schedule is running ahead of time".

Anticlockwise, or counterclockwise is a circular direction around a central point, in the opposite direction to the way the hands on a clock turn. Anticlockwise goes towards the left.

Around is in a circular way. The dog in the picture has a scarf around his neck.

Something is away from you if it is a distance from you, or is being removed from you. The man in the picture is walking away. Parents often take toys away from children as a punishment.

Something is behind you if you cannot see it - your back is facing it rather than your front. The tiger in the picture is behind a tree.

Something is below something else if it is lower down than it, with the other thing above. This photo was taken from below a cat.

You bend something when you change it from being straight into a curve. Someone has bent the metal bar in the picture.

Two things are beside each other if they are next to each other, facing the same direction. The two women on the bench are sitting beside each other, or side by side.

Something is between if it is in the space in the middle of two other things. The cat in the picture is eating dinner between two dogs.
