Jul 11, 2012 at 2:48 comment added Fr0zenFyr @Geoist: I said that choice (3) is not a good fit, see above. Something like "the only entrances to the construction site are towards the east and towards the west" should be sufficient.

Jul 11, 2012 at 0:15 comment added nagytech @Fr0zenFyr (3) is definitely not going to help. It leaves an open end as to wether or not there are more entrances. I need to explicitly state that there were only two entrances. Thanks!
Jul 10, 2012 at 19:22 comment added Fr0zenFyr I frame the sentences in these ways in writing: (1)The construction site has two entrances, one to the east and the other to the west. (2)The construction site has three entrances: first/one to the east, second to the west and third to the south. (3)The construction site has an entrance each to the east, the west, the south and the north. (Not really a good choice though) (4)The construction site has two entrances, both to the east. (5)The construction site has three entrances, one towards east and the other two towards west.

Jul 10, 2012 at 14:47 comment added cornbread ninja 麵包忍者 Forget I said that. @Em1 is right because one to the east and one to the west doesn't stand as an independent clause.
Jul 10, 2012 at 14:42 comment added nagytech @cornbreadninja Thanks! Does your answer still apply given that the items I am appending aren't really in 'support' of my original statement?

Jul 10, 2012 at 14:37 comment added Em1 Your link does also say "don't use it with conjunctions". You're using "and", so the semicolon is wrong according to your link (als also according to my sense of languages, but that's another thing)
