Obe besedi – ACROSS in OVER pomenita “do druge strani nečesa, na drugo stran nečesa”. Vseeno pa obstaja majhna razlika med tem, kdaj ju je bol primerno uporabiti.
Načeloma med ACROSS in OVER ne delamo razlik.

Če govorimo o gibanju na drugo stran nečesa, ki vključuje neko višjo oviro, potem raje izberemo OVER.

V kolikor govorimo o gibanju na drugo stran nečesa preko ravne površine, potem raje uporabimo ACROSS.

(NE … to walk over the desert.)
