Grammar
I'm going to my sister
Hi,
how do you usually say that you are going/ went/ will go to the place where a person live, to the place where a person is, etc.?
Examples:
Have you been to your sister yet? - No, I'm going to my sister tomorrow. She lives in Colorado, it's going to be a long drive...
I'll go to Mark. Wait here, I'll be back in an instant. Just the time to reach his house and ask him about that.
Go to Pamela and ask her if she want some Martini.
I think those are not natural, but I don't know what to say instead. I'd say "go over" instead of just "go"... I don't think I need to say "my sister's house", I don't think that's good either (not really idiomatic).
Thanks

CliveGo to Pamela and ask her if she want some Martini. This sounds more like you want to go to the person, eg on the other side of the room. I don't usually go to someone's home just to offer them a drink.Thanks Clive.
Yes, Pamela is in the same room... in that example. Can you "go to a person" in that case? Is that the only case w

Clive'Go to Tom . . ' would, I think, be much less common. It sounds formal and serious. It also often sounds like you have some connection with the person. Often we go to 'a role', eg go to my doctor, go to my boss, go to the police.Yes, I notice that with names like "doctor", for example.
I see, thank you Clive.
