  2.8 "To a Place"  

In sentences expressing going "to a place" English usually uses the preposition "to." In Urdu no postposition is necessary. Look at the following examples:

I am going to the bazaar.

میں بازار جا رہا ہوں۔

I want to go to Qutub Minar.

میں قطب مینار جانا چاہتا ہوں۔

  But note the following where English also uses no preposition:

I am going home.

میں گھر جا رہی ہوں۔

Where do you want to go?

آپ کہاں جانا چاہتے ہیں؟
