Go back to where you came from / Go back where you came from

Teachers, please help me with this. I've come upon these two senteces a lot, and I still don't know which one is correct to use:

1) Go back to where you came from.

2) Go back where you came from. (without "to")
  

Top answer

Hi, 1) Go back to where you came from. 2) Go back where you came from. (without "to") I wouldn't say either is wrong, but I prefer #2.

  • The preposition 'to' seems redundant.
