We go to school. We study to learn. Eight lessons on "to" — the word that points at where you are going and why.

We go to school. We study to learn. “To” points at where you are going — and at the reason you are going there. It is a small word doing a very big job, and it appears in almost every page a child will ever read.

  • Use “to” for a place: Ollie walks to the river.

  • Write a sentence about where you go and why
