I am trying to understand the difference between "drop off" and "give a lift".
Let's assume I am in Mexico in Uxmal. There is the archaeological zone and the car park in front of it.
I want to get to Merida, when should I use "drop off" and "give a lift".
Should I use "give a lift" if I ask a person with a car who is also a tourist and "drop off" if I ask a taxi driver??
Excuse me, are you going to Merida? Could you give me a lift to the bus station in Merida? <---- a question to a person with a car who is also a tourist
Excuse me, could you drop me off at the bus station in Merida? <---- a question to a taxi driver (I know I can ask 'could you take me to...', but I want to see the difference between drop off and give a lift)
