Non, tu tournes à droite.
No, you turn right.
From Lesson 33:Question word for location (où)·French

Questions & Answers about Non, tu tournes à droite.

Why does tournes end in an "s"? Is it plural?
No, it is not plural! In French, verbs that end in -er in their dictionary form (like tourner) always end in -s when paired with tu (you). It is simply the spelling rule for this specific pronoun.
Why is there an à before droite?
In English, we usually just say "turn right". But in French, you say "turn to the right". The word à does the job of "to" in this directional phrase.
The lesson is about the question word où (where). Why isn't où in this sentence?
This sentence is a typical response to an où question! If someone asks you "Où est la gare ?" (Where is the train station?), you will use phrases like tu tournes à droite to give them directions.
I always confuse à droite with tout droit. What is the difference?
This is a classic beginner mix-up! À droite means "to the right", and it ends in an "e" (so you pronounce the "t" sound at the end). Tout droit means "straight ahead", and it does not end in an "e" (so the "t" is silent).
