ACROSS

We can use across in some contexts as:

Size of a survey

The survey was based on political opinions compiled across 10 cities.

Width measurement of something:

The impression barely took up three centimetres across the label.

To indicate belonging to an specific area:

There are several islands, scattered across the Mediterranean.

 

To state movement or position relative to opposite sides of something:

He is going to row across the lake.

She was observing me across the room.

(We were both in the same room in opposite extremes).

To point out an opposite location:   across + from

The Council is across from the Church.

 

MOST COMMON MISTAKES…

Across cannot be used as a verb. Just as preposition and adverb.

The correct verb form will be CROSS.

Do you know how to cross rail tracks on your bike?

To describe a movement in the natural world we will use through instead of across.

We walked for hours through the jungle.
