the driveways between the adjacent buildings
There are three buildings along the same stretch of road next to one another. Lets call them Building A, Building B and Building C. Both the hearer and I are talking about Building B.
- Building B is in the middle.
- There is a driveway between Building A and Building B
- There is a driveway between Building B and Building C
I would like to tell them about the driveways.
If I say
the driveways between the adjacent buildings
Does that make sense?
And if I were to say there are two driveways, should I say
There are driveways on either side of Building B
or
There are driveways on both sides of Building B
Are you sure you don't mean alleys?
Alley: a passage, as through a continuous row of houses, permitting access from the street to backyards, garages, etc.
vs.
Driveway: a road, especially a private one, leading from a street or other thoroughfare to a building, house, garage, etc.
To me - a driveway would connect to a specific building/location, whereas the concept of a passage/road between several buildings in a row more describes an alley. (maybe this is a US English specific preference).
To answer your questions:
The driveways/alleys between the adjacent buildings
The above makes sense.
There is a/an driveway/alley on either side of Building B
There is a/an driveway/alley on both sides of Building B
For both, I would make it singular, as you are talking about one on each side. I am being a pedant, but the reason is the plural form could indicate multiple driveways/alleys on either side.
