Difference between on the right/left and to the right/left
I know with stative verbs we use on the right and with movement verbs we use to the right but sometimes this is not the case.
Can anybody help with examples? |

On the right/left = a la derecha/izquierda To the right/left = hacia la derecha/izquierda aunque también significa a la derecha/izquierda |

These two terms can often be used interchagably.
For example a tour guide may say: to your right you will see the Eiffel Tower-or- on your right you will see the Eiffel Tower. To your right has an additional meaning because it may be used as a command. A police officer may point his finger to the right and say: to your right.

Or a sergeant major might say On the right - quick march!!
Meaning that the soldiers march with the right foot first. |
