Hello guys!!
I'm confused about "across" and "across from"

22.gif

In this rough map,
1.The supermarket is across the bank.
2.The supermarket is across from the bank.

Which one is correct?
I think both of them are okay. Am I right?
Please let me know.
I'm looking forward to your answer.
Bye~

'The supermarket is across from the bank' or 'The supermarket is opposite the bank.'

The symbol ~ may have its uses, but replacing a full stop (or period) is not one of them.
