walk over/across the bridge from ... to ... Explanation: "walk over" and "walk across" are both fine, but just "cross" would also do ("you have to cross the bridge"). "from Deaf Hill to Blind Hill" is better IMO, you certainly don't need "over", and if these are the names of the hills you don't need "the". |
