driveway

noun

A short private path for cars connecting the street to someone's house or garage.

Example sentences

  • “The kids drew chalk pictures all over the driveway.”
  • “Dad spent the morning shoveling snow off the driveway.”

An oddity learners enjoy: you park on a driveway and drive on a parkway. It is private ground, unlike the street.
