opposite

1.opposite后面的to往往省去，如下面两句里的to可有可无：

• I live opposite (to) the post office.
• The car stopped opposite (to) the hotel.

2.My view is opposite to yours里的to改作from也可以，但不及用to普通。My view is the very opposite of yours里用of。

3.下面每组里的第一句比第二句自然：

• The house opposite is an old one.
  The opposite house is an old one.
• The slope opposite is still covered with snow.
  The opposite slope is still covered with snow.
