Grammar

我们经常会说go to school, go to bed, go to Guangzhou，go to后面接一个名词就是说明要去哪里哪里。但有时我们的go后面是不需要加to，比如回家go home，不能说go to home。因为home在这里不是名词，而是副词：to or at the place where you live，也就是说这里的home本身就自带有to的含义，所以直接说go home。

  • go abroad 去国外
  • go downtown 去市区
  • go upstairs 上楼
  • go there 去那里
  • go outside 出去
