COULD YOU DO ME A FAVOUR?

I am wondering if this sentence is correct:
In which direction does the front of the building face?
Do we need preposition In in this sentence? What happen if I omit it from this sentence?
One more question. Which sentence is correct?
The front of the building faces the west.
The front of the building faces west?
Thank you very much for your help. I am eager to wait for your answer.
Regards,
Nhimyeu

Hi Nhimyeu, no, you don �t need, �in � - it �s just �Which direction... �
�The front of the building faces west �, is correct.

There are only 2 correct answers to your question:
either
The front of the building faces west
or
The front of the building faces to the west

I basically agree with our colleagues above with just a couple exceptions. 1) Both question forms are correct (both with or without ""in"). 2) If refering to the West as a named location you could say: "The building faces the West." (this would be similar to saying: "The building faces the Taj Mahal." Cheers, Douglas |
