有同学在微信上提到了一个看起来很简单的问题:应该说where are you going? 还是where are you going to?英语中越常见的词用法往往越复杂,上面的where就属于这种情况。实际上where are you going (to)? 这两种写法都是正确的。疑问副词where既可以表示位置,也可以表示方向。当它表示位置时,其含义为at or in what place,此时它不与介词at/in连用。比如我们应该说:Where do you live? 而不能说:Where do you live in? 这是因为此时where相当于in what place,Where do you live? 相当于 In what place do you live? 后面就不需要加介词了。同样的道理,“你在哪”要写成:Where are you? 而不是:Where are you at?而当where表示方向时,它的含义是to what place,此时它可以与介词to连用,也可以不和介词连用。比如:Where are you going? (你要去哪儿?)此时where表示的是“方向”,它也可以写成:Where are you going
