shouldn’t it be one word between,can’’ and,back’', for example : before you can go back into…?
thanks…
to ‘back into’ something means to reverse into something.
There is no missing word. It’s a single phrase.
Hi Bev,
Can you please tell me the difference between a parking space and a parking stall?
Many thanks,

While you’re waiting for Bev’s input, here’s mine.
Other than the fact that a ‘parking stall’ would be specifically designated for the parking of a single car, I don’t think there necessarily IS a difference, Torsten.
However, I would be very surprised to hear anyone refer to a ‘parking space’ as a ‘parking stall’ in my area. Around here, the use of ‘parking stall’ might bring some sort of car-sized structure to people’s minds (something roughly the size of a one-car garage).
I have no idea how widespread the general use of ‘parking stall’ might be, but I would categorize it as uncommon in my neck of the woods.

I’ve never used the term ‘parking stall’ but I understand it to be one of the names for a space marked off for parking a motor vehicle in a garage or parking lot. I would call that a parking space, but of course, a ‘parking space’ can also be defined as any area where a vehicle can be parked, whether or not it is marked off for the purpose.
So a parking stall will always be have white markings at the boundaries.
A parking space may be synonymous with ‘parking stall’ or may be a more general area for parking.
That’s my understanding, anyway. As I say, I have never heard the term used.
