English Language Learners Asked by Ranjith Kumar on February 11, 2021
In sometimes I use the multiple "to" in a single sentence. But I try to avoid this kind of sentence formation.
After eight years I again went to Chennai to join my first Job
Any simple solution for this kind of sentence formation?
Not for your sentence.
English follows a "head-body" pattern very often.
There's lots of situations where, if elements share the same "head", it only has to be specified once. Articles and prepositions are common "heads".
I took the black socks and blue socks from the shelf = I took the black socks and the blue socks from the shelf.
I wanted to see and talk to her = I wanted to see and to talk to her.
I went to the store and the park = I went to the store and to the park.
However. "to" as a spatial preposition in the targeting/destination/intent sense, and "to" as an infinitive marker, are completely different "heads" and can't be combined like that.
You can do this, though:
After eight years I again went to join my first Job at Chennai.
