Classroom situation: you are looking for a square in an unfamiliar city. The question and simple route words both matter.
Mini-dialogue

Sigue recto y gira a la derecha.
Try this in conversation: “Perdona, ¿cómo llego a la plaza?” — “Excuse me, how do I get to the square?” Read the mini-dialogue aloud, change one detail and answer in your own words.
Try it yourself
