Learn English/ Improve your English (8)

The topic of this piece would be the use of some prepositions in phrases that do not require them.

I have made up my mind about writing this article because I keep hearing these mistakes while interacting with my students, due to the somewhat resemblance with the Romanian language.  

So do not say: “I go to shopping”, but “I go shopping”. The same goes for “to go skating”, “to go fishing” etc. In Romanian we say: “Mă duc la cumpărături”, so students cannot resist the urge to also translate the preposition into English.

Also do not say: “I go to home”, but “I go home”. Another article on the same topic is to be found here.

More about the use of prepositions you can find in future articles or in class.
