What's the difference between "where" and "to where" in the two sentences?
We should go where it is quieter.
"Where are you going, Mick?" "I'm going to where I can be of most use,"
"Where are you going, Mick?" "I'm going to where I can be of most use,"
Top answer
We should go where it is quieter. " "I'm going to where I can be of most use," In my opinion, "to where" is substandard English. It is used casually, even though the "to" is unnecessary.
