Hi.
Could someone help me?

1. I’m about to cross the bridge.
2. I’m about to cross the river.

When you are going to another side of a river, and there is a bridge over the river, which would you say?
1 or 2?

My dictionary has both “corss a bridge” and “cross a river”. However, I think “what crossing a bridge” is a river under the bridge.
Don’t you say “go through a bridge”?

Thank you!


Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.

If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
