(1.) If you take the strictest
definition of road vs. street…A street is supposed to imply buildings and addresses, either public or private. And a road is supposed to emphasize a means of travel.
(This gets kind of confusing and weird when you consider people live on both streets and roads. However, you’ll notice a highway is never called a street. It’s always a road.)
(2.) The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
(3.) Veins are like the local roads of the human body. Arteries are like major highways. And blood vessels are like small
residential streets.
(4.) (A.) The road to Michael’s heart, is his stomach. Better work on that Lasagna.
(B.) The road to learning, isn’t the same for anybody. The most effective teachers tap into their students’
individual motivations and learning styles.
