FROM - TO

Hi,

I get confused as to when I can use the 'how to' phrase and when not.

He is a sales person and he goes door to door to sell his items.
He goes from school to school (school to school without the article OK?) to find the best place to study.
He went from the bedroom to the bathroom (from bedroom to bathroom without the article OK?? If we want to be specific, use the article and if not, don't use the article??) searching for his car key to get to his workplace.

Your sentences and comments here are OK. You'll have to be more specific about 'how to'.

Thank you. Do you feel we can use the two phrases that has 'from and to' and just 'to' interchangeably in some situations?

I don't have a firm understanding of situations that require 'from-to' phrase and just 'to' phrase. I usually go by my feeling and sometimes that doesn't seem very reliable.

He goes door to door to sell his merchandise.
He goes from house to house

From can often be omitted. To be safe, include it.
