ਆਮ ਗਲਤੀ:
Learners sometimes write "south east" as two words. In modern English, the direction is written as one word: "southeast". Use a capital letter only when it is part of a proper name or a named region, for example, "the Southeast" of the U.S.

ਆਮ ਗਲਤੀ:
Learners sometimes use "to the southeast" when "southeast" alone as an adverb would be more natural (e.g., "The road goes southeast," not "The road goes to the southeast" in many contexts). Both can be correct, but the shorter adverb form is common with verbs of movement like "go" and "head."

ਆਮ ਗਲਤੀ:
Learners sometimes forget to capitalize "Southeast" when it refers to a well-known region (for example, "the Southeast" of the U.S.) and not just a general direction. Use "the southeast" (lowercase) for a general part of a place, but "the Southeast" (capitalized) for a recognized region.
