Dear Liat,
The definition of to depart is to leave. When will it be correct to use this word?

Hi,

In truth, "depart" is very rarely used except in relation to travel.

Our plane departs Tuesday at 1:15 and arrives at 5:30.

I wouldn't use "I'm departing for the party now" or "I'm departing for the restaurant." I would just say "I'm leaving."

Instead of 'to' use 'for'.

Thank you very much, Liat.
I appreciate your help, once again.
It might mean nothing to you, but it means a lot to me. I enjoy studying English, and all of those small things mean a lot to me.

No, you are wrong, WesternAmerican.

It might mean nothing to you, but it means a lot to me.

You'
