"When you reach the junction, you turn until you see a mosque."
Can anyone tell me out of these 4 words, which is a mistake in this sentence ? "reach" "junction" "turn" "until"
Thanks

I think it is until. If you are giving someone directions, you would say, "When you reach the junction, turn left (or right, whatever) at the mosque". Not turn UNTIL you see the mosque.

I would write: When you reach the junction, turn at the mosque.
However, as your question is only about which of 4 words given by you is not appropriate, I would say 'until', as it has to be replaced by the word 'when'.

It depends on the context.
