English Language & Usage Asked on November 17, 2020

I’m wondering what contribution the word "through" makes to the following sentence:

The trend continued [through] to April.

How does the above differ from the following?

The trend continued to April.

The trend continued until April.

I’d appreciate your help.

One Answer

I think what you'd actually want to say is, "The trend continued through April." This implies that the trend continued until the end of April. Conversely, "The trend continued until April," implies that the trend continued until the start of April.

I would not say, "The trend continued to April," or, "The trend continued through to April," as both are a little awkward/ambiguous.
