Haddie 1) What's the difference between going to a room and going into a room? It is the same action; 'to' merely suggests that the room is farther away. 'To' refers to a point location, while 'in' refers to a 2-or 3-dimensional one.

"Go to a room" can mean to wait in front of it until you are invited to enter. But usually, they mean the same thing.
Teacher: Jimmy, you haven't done your homework again. That is the second time this week. Go to the principal's office.
(Wait outside the office.)
Mom: Go to the kitchen and get another serving spoon.
(Go inside to get the spoon.)

Odessa DawnYou don’t just want that student to wait outside the principal's office, but to meet the principal. What would you suggest?A student who gets sent by a teacher to the principal's office will be ushered in to meet the principal by the principal's assistant when the principal is ready. Most students do not wish for this experience.
