Specific street addresses use the preposition 'on.' We say someone lives 'on' a street: 'on North Lincoln Street.' 'In' is used for cities/countries (in London), and 'at' for precise addresses or intersections (at 123 Main St). For street names without numbers, 'on' is correct.

This is a third conditional sentence describing an unreal past situation. The structure is: If + past perfect (had known) + would have + past participle (have helped).

Use 'for' with a duration of time to show how long an action has continued from the past to now. 'Since' requires a specific point in time (e.g., 'since 2020'), not a duration. 'While' and 'during' don't fit the present perfect tense structure.

This is a first conditional sentence expressing a real possibility in the future. 'If + present simple' in the condition clause matches with 'will + verb' in the result clause. 'Would go' is for second conditional (unreal situations).
