Let's break down the directions step by step to figure out what’s next to the grocery store. First: "Beneden aan de weg is een grote kruising." — This means "Down the road is a big intersection." So we start by heading down the road to a major crossroads. Next: "Ga dan linksaf bij het kanaal." — "Then turn left at the canal." So after the intersection, we follow the road until we reach a canal and turn left there. Then: "Deze oude kerk moet aan de rechterkant liggen, tegenover de markt." — "This old church should be on the right-hand side, opposite the market." So after turning, we keep going until we see an old church on our right, and directly across from it is a market. Finally: "De supermarkt ligt er direct achter." — "The supermarket is located directly behind it." The word "er" refers to something previously mentioned. Since the last clear landmark is the market (which is opposite the church), "er" most logically refers to the market. So "direct achter" means the supermarket is directly behind the market. Therefore, the grocery store is directly behind the market. That means the market is what’s next to — more precisely, right in front of — the grocery store. LOCATION: the market
