Pro Tip 1/3
Cardinal Direction
Used to describe one of four principal compass points. Our cottage faces south, receiving plenty of sunlight.
Pro Tip 2/3
Not Downward
Don't confuse 'south' with 'down'; it refers to direction, not position. The river flows south, not downwards.
Pro Tip 3/3
Opposite of North
Visualize the globe; 'south' means toward the South Pole. If you keep walking south, you'll eventually reach Antarctica.
