使用する際の注意点

As down may be used as a preposition or adverb in its own right, the combination go down may also occur in cases where go is used literally. For example, down the street means "away from the speaker along the street in question" regardless of whether go is present:

• She lives down the street.
• Go down the street to get to her house.

Idioms such as these are properly considered senses of down.
