Hi Kanha! A "Street" is just a normal road in a city with buildings on both sides. A "Boulevard" is much bigger, usually a wide, important avenue that has trees or landscaping down the middle or along the sides! 🌳🚗🌳

Is it "In the downtown" or just "Downtown"?

Great question! We usually use it as an adverb of place, so we drop the preposition. Say "We are going downtown" or "The office is located downtown." Do not use "to" or "in"! 🏙️
