(In Scotland, we usually say "granny" : she walked through the forest to to get her granny's house.)
They walked along the footpath until they came to a small village.
The shirt is too tight at the shoulders. (around the shoulders would be ok too)
It's natural for children to look up to their elder brothers and sisters. (in other words, admire them)
