Which direction is Betty indicating in each clip? Use the directions you see as you look at her, not as Betty would see them.

C’est à droite 1.

C’est à gauche 2.

C’est tout droit 3.

1 à droite  :

C'est à droite (it's to the right). Take care not to confuse the similarly written à droite (to the right) with tout droit (straight on). Example: allez d'abord à droite et ensuite tout droit (first go right, then go straight on).

1 à trois :

Un ménage à trois is “a threesome”, a sexy time enjoyed by three people together. Do whatever you want in the privacy of your own home, Victor, but maybe don't talk about it to strangers asking for directions.

1 droit :

Droit means “straight”, not “(to the) right”. We use it in the expression tout droit (straight on), which is not the direction Betty is indicating here. Examples: tiens-toi droit ! (Stand up straight!); la plage, c'est tout droit (the beach is straight ahead).

2 à gauche :

In this clip, Betty is indicating that c'est à gauche (it's to the left). How helpful of her!

2 à la gare :

(Aller) à la gare means “(to go) to the train station”. That may well be where you need to go today, Victor, but it's not what Betty is indicating.

2 un gigolo :

Un gigolo is a man paid by a woman, usually to have sex with her. We will not disclose whether Betty has ever been involved with one.

3 tout droit :

C'est tout droit (it's straight on). Note that the final -t is silent, which helps distinguish it from à droite (to the right), which contains an audible “t” sound at the end.

3 tout de suite :

If you go tout de suite , then you go “straight away” or “immediately”. It's not a direction of travel!

3 à droite :

À droite means “to the right”, which is not the direction Betty indicates here. Make sure not to confuse à droite (to the right) and tout droit (straight on)! Example: tournez à droite après la boulangerie (turn right after the bakery).
