Appropriate grammar usage

Hey Buds,

1) this is EVEN safer / this is safer
Is the second one wrong? why?

2) I have A lot to do / I have lot to do
Is this similar to the sentences with 'few' in them?

3) Heading THIS place / Heading TO THIS place

4) Can both of them be used?
I'll go to my place. Call me when there is work for me (I left my place and went the boss's place)

I'll go BACK to my place. Call me when there is work for me (same situation as the first one)

I apologize for posting something similar to the thread I had posted earlier. Somebody answered it! But I just want to know the grammatical rules (for the first one) involved in it (which would help me a lot)

Thanks a lot for helping me out friends!

coolguy01 1) this is EVEN safer / this is safer
Is the second one wrong? why? Yes. It needs a capital letter and a period.

2) I have A lot to do / I have lot to do I have lots to do would be okay.

Hi,

1) this is EVEN safer / this is safer

Is the second one wrong? why?

No, it's fine. 'Even' is an intensifier.

Here is a typical example.

A is extremely safe.

B is even safer.



2) I have A lot to do This is correct

/ I have lot to do This is incorrect. You could say 'I have lots to do'.
