I found a sentence like this: "We walked all the way to the museum." Could I use 'road' instead of 'way'? Also, do these words also have the meaning solution? For example, "I took a long time to find a solution to the problem" - can I use 'way' or 'road' instead? "

Tan, China

In this week's programme, Li and Jen help our listener Tan find his way through a tricky English language topic.

Do you know what the difference is between the words 'road' and 'way'?

Do they always mean the same thing?

If you have a question about the English language you can send it to the team at questions.chinaelt@bbc.co.uk or use the form below.

We might make a programme about it!
