Question

Hi teachers,

Do both sentences mean the same? Are both correct?

a) Now, he is going to Kate and Henry's table.

b) Now, he is going where Kate and Henry are.

Thanks in advance

Both are correct but there's no need to have a comma after "now". The sentences have different meanings, of course! CB

Cool BreezeDo you consider the sentence incorrect without "to"? ...

10. to what or whatever place; to the place or any place to which: I will go where you go.
Yes, I consider it incorrect without 'to'. In the dictionary example, both clauses "are going".

I will go where you go. I will go
