Hey everyone, a few years ago I posted on the difference between go and go to. You can find that link here. Today, I am going to talk about a when you should use:
go to + place
and
go + place
Usually, we use go to + SPECIFIC place, for example:
I want to go to Tokyo.
He went to Isetan.
Her parents are going to Mongolia next week.
Tom went to the post office.
I have to go to the bank today.
SOMETIMES, we just use go + place. We use this structure when the place ISN'T specific.
A: Have you been to Disney Sea?
B: Yeah, I went there 3 years ago.
--------------
Harry: Ted's never gone abroad.
Alice: What? Really? He seems so cosmopolitan.
Harry: Yeah, he's well-read. He's gonna go abroad this winter.
Alice: Good for him!
--------------
Mom: Kids, go outside and play.
later
Neighbour: What's that racket? Oh, it's just some kids playing outside.
--------------
Wow, it's late. Time to go home.
So when the place isn't specific like with there, outside, abroad, or home we DON'T use go to!
I am aiming for about 6 lessons this month. Have a nice week!
Phil
