How to distinguish between right (as in right and wrong) and right (as in left-right)? [closed]

Solution 1:

A native speaker wouldn't tell you to take the "right car", when he means "the car on the right". When in doubt, context is everything.

Solution 2:

It pretty much depends on context. If someone talks about "making a right turn," you can pretty safely assume they mean right-left right, and if someone talks about "making the right decision," they clearly mean right-wrong right. If the context doesn't help, as in your example, you could rephrase it slightly, such as saying "the car on the right" to mean the right-left right car or "the correct car" to mean the right-wrong right car.

Solution 3:

You have to distinguish with context, or a follow-up question, unless the speaker is careful and says 'car on the right'. English speakers ask follow-up questions all the time. There is no way around it.
