Hi.
I'm Rebecca from engVid.
In this lesson you'll learn the difference between two commonly confused prepositions,
which are "to" and "at".
So, the thing to remember is that "to" always suggests movement or direction.
All right?
"To" with movement, you're going to someone, to someplace, or towards something.
So, "to" is movement or direction, and "at" suggests a location in place or time.
So, "to" something, but "at" somewhere.
"To" something, "at" somewhere.
Do you see the difference?
"To", there's movement.
"At", you've already arrived.
Okay?
So: "to" and "at".
If you use those gestures it may help you to think through it while you're choosing
which preposition to use.
So, let's look at some examples.
So, as again...
As I said, again, we use "to" for movement or direction towards a person, a place, or a thing.
For example: "I talked to him.",
"We went to school.",
"She walked to her car."
A person, a place, a thing.
Movement, "to".
Okay?
All right, here are some other common verbs.
There are lots and lots of verbs that we can use with this preposition "to", which implies movement.
These are some examples.
You go to someplace, you go to school.
You go to the university.
You go to work.
You run to something.
You fly to London.
You return to somewhere.
Okay?
Or you can also use lots of verbs with "to" plus a person.
You explain something to someone, send a letter to someone, read it to someone, write to someone,
or speak to someone.
There's a direction.
Right?
Whether you're speaking, or writing, or walking, or running
- "to" is always movement and direction.
Good.
Now, "at" is steady.
Whereas "to" is moving, "at" is very steady.
"At" stays in one place, "at" is location, location and place, location and time.
For example: "We arrived"-where?-"at the airport."
We drove to the airport, and then we arrived at the airport.
All right?
So: "We arrived at the airport."
Or: "Wake me up at 6:00."
So, again, it's a location or a place in time, or a physical place.
All right?
Got it?
Now, here are some other examples of verbs that you can use with "at", but again, there
are lots and lots of verbs.
So what's really important is not to learn the verbs, but to learn how these prepositions
are used and what exactly they mean.
But here are some examples.
We stayed at the hotel, for example.
I live at...
I work at...
I eat at this restaurant.
I shop at the mall.
Okay?
So, "at" plus place or sometimes "at" plus time.
Call me at 5:00.
Let's meet at noon.
Let's start at 10:00.
Okay?
So we have "at", location.
Okay?
Arrival, and "to" is always movement or direction.
Got that?
Now let's do a little quiz to make sure that you really got it.
All right, now let's do the quiz.
Now remember: "to" indicates movement and "at" indicates location or arrival.
So, here we go.
"We stayed _______ home." "at home" or "We stayed to home"?
"We stayed"...
In all of these cases you have to choose between "to" and "at".
"We stayed at home."
Okay?
Stay somewhere.
"I spoke _______ Jack."
"to Jack", "I spoke at Jack"?
What do we say?
"I spoke
to".
The direction of your speech is towards Jack.
Next: "She went _______ the bank."
"to the bank" or "at the bank"?
"She went", so "went" is movement.
Right?
Think of the verb.
The verb is talking about movement.
"She went to the bank."
Next: "I bought this keychain _______ the gift shop."
"to the gift shop" or "at the gift shop"?
So here the answer would be
"at".
Very good.
Next... The next one:
"Meet me _______ the coffee shop."
"Meet me to the coffee shop", "at the coffee shop"?
What do we say?
"Meet me
at", right?
Because it's a place.
Next: "The movie starts _______ 4:00."
"to 4:00", "at 4:00"?
Which one is right?
"The movie starts
at", okay?
We always use "at" for very specific times.
Next: "We flew _______ Amsterdam."
What do we say?
"We flew..."
Flew, movement.
Right?
Flying is movement.
"to Amsterdam", very good.
"I sent a card _______ my Mom."
Sending, is it movement?
Yes.
Sending implies movement, so for movement we have to say:
"I sent a card to my Mom."
Okay.
"She read a story _______ her son."
When you're reading, the activity is directed towards someone, so:
"She read a story
to her son."
And the last one: "John studied _______ the library."
So, where was he?
Was he in one place or was he moving?
He was in one place, one location.
All right?
So we can say: "John studied
at the library."
Okay?
I hope that my little demonstrations helped you to understand the meaning
of "to" as well as "at".
All right?

The PlugMeIn Project - The Netherlands to Australia in an electric car (SUBTITLES INCLUDED) - Duration: 17:12.
WIEBE: MY NAME IS WIEBE WAKKER.
I'M FROM THE NETHERLANDS.
I HAVE STUDIED EVENT MANAGEMENT.
INTERVIEWER: ABOUT THIS JOURNEY YOU'RE DOING WITH PLUG ME IN,
TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT THAT.
YOUR INSPIRATION FOR IT
WHY DID YOU START OFF ON THIS JOURNEY?
WHAT WAS THE REASON BEHIND IT?
WIEBE: I WANTED TO TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD. MY PASSION IS TRAVELLING. I DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE STANDARD GUY WHO GOES FROM HOSTEL TO HOSTEL. I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING CREATIVE AND UNIQUE.
AND, UM, I WANTED TO DO A ROAD TRIP. ON ROAD TRIPS YOU HAVE FREEDOM AND YOU CAN GO WHEREVER YOU WANT. IT WAS IN 2015 WHILE I WAS ORGANIZING IT
AND THOUGHT WHY NOT DO IT IN AN ELECTRIC CAR? DURING MY STUDIES, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO START MY OWN PROJECTS
AND SO I MADE THIS MY GRADUATION PROJECT. THAT'S HOW I CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA.
INTERVIEWER: HAVE YOU, SINCE A YOUNG AGE, BEEN INTERESTED IN SUSTAINABLE ENERGY, GREEN TECH, ETC.,
OR WAS THIS RECENT? SOMETHING THAT OCCURRED TO YOU RECENTLY
WIEBE: I WAS NOT REALLY VERY MUCH INTERESTED IN IT. WHEN I STARTED ORGANISING THIS PROJECT
A LOT OF PEOPLE TOLD ME, 'YOU'RE GOING TO TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD IN AN ELECTRIC CAR AND YOU'LL BE USING ONLY WHAT YOU NEED, SO YOU'LL BE LIVING IN A VERY BASIC WAY. SO WHY DON'T YOU DO SOMETHING FOR SUSTAINABILITY.
I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE VERY BORING AS I WASN'T REALLY INTO SUSTAINABILITY. SO I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH ABOUT WHAT SUSTAINABILITY IS AND FOUND OUT YOU CAN SOME PRETTY COOL THINGS WITH SUSTAINABILITY.
SO THAT'S WHEN I STARTED GETTING INTO SUSTAINABILITY. I THOUGHT, OK, I SHOULD DO SOMETHING WITH THE SUBJECT
BUT I'M NOT GOING TO BE SOME KIND OF MESSENGER. I'M GOING TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT MEANS TO ME AND ALSO PROVE YOU CAN DO SOME PRETTY COOL THINGS WITH SUSTAINABILITY
INTERVIEWER: YOU'RE VERY YOUNG; YOU'RE ONLY 29 YEARS OLD. WHILE SETTING OUT ON THE JOURNEY, DID YOU THINK THAT I'M AN INSPIRATION, THAT I'M SETTING AN EXAMPLE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE MY AGE OR MY COUNTRYMEN OF MY AGE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
WIEBE: NO, THIS WAS JUST SOMETHING I REALLY WANTED TO DO. IT WAS MY DREAM. I DO HEAR THIS FROM OTHERS SOMETIMES, BUT [SHRUGS].
INTERVIEWER: TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCES, BECAUSE I HEARD ON YOUR WEBSITE THAT YOUR EUROPE TRIP WAS PRETTY EASY. YOU DIDN'T REALLY FACE MANY PROBLEMS
ONCE YOU REACHED ASIA, THINGS BECAME A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED
FINDING A PLACE TO CHARGE AND ALL THAT
TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT THOSE EXPERIENCES.
WIEBE: IN ASIA, IT HASN'T BEEN DIFFICULT TO FIND CHARGING PLACES OR SOMETHING BUT
BUT YEAH, IT WAS A LITTLE MORE WORK, BECAUSE YOU NEED VISAS
AND YOU NEED TEMPORARY CAR INSURANCES. YOU NEED TO FIND OUT HOW THINGS WORK HERE, AS THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT SOMETIMES.
INTERVIEWER: AND YOU HAD A VISA MISHAP BEFORE YOU REACHED DUBAI?
INTERVIEWER: YOU HAD SOME KIND OF VISA INCIDENT?
WIEBE: YEAH. I NEEDED TO GET MY VISA FOR INDIA
I SAW ON THE INTERNET THAT IT TOOK ONE OR TWO DAYS BEFORE YOU GOT YOUR VISA
BUT WHEN I WENT TO THE VISA OFFICE, THEY SAID IT CAN TAKE UPTO 15 DAYS
AND IF I WOULD HAVE GOT IT AFTER 15 DAYS
MY VISA FOR THE UAE WOULD ALREADY HAVE EXPIRED
I HAD TO GO [INAUDIBLE] TO SAVE UP SOME DAYS, BUT IN THE END IT TOOK ONLY FOUR DAYS TO GET THE VISA
INTERVIEWER: CONTINUING FROM THAT, TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT ACCOMMODATION AND ALSO ABOUT FINDING THE MONEY TO DO ALL THIS. YOU MENTIONED
THAT YOU HAD BEEN DOING SOME WORK IN DUBAI, BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT, WHAT OTHER SOURCES OF INCOME DO YOU HAVE TO FUND THE JOURNEY
WIEBE: THE GOAL IS TO DO THIS WITHOUT MONEY. I RELY ON ORDINARY PEOPLE FOR ENERGY, FOOD, AND A PLACE TO SLEEP
WHEN I DO NEED MONEY FOR SOMETHING LIKE A VISA, I EXCHANGE STUFF. I GIVE SOMEBODY A PRODUCT, AND THEY GIVE ME SOMETHING BACK
AND YOU CAN DONATE AT MY WEBSITE
AND THE DONATION IS ENOUGH TO PAY FOR THINGS LIKE VISAS. DUBAI WAS THE FIRST TIME I NEEDED A SERIOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY
TO SHIP THE CAR, WHICH WAS QUITE EXPENSIVE. SO I HAD TO FIND A JOB IN DUBAI
INTERVIEWER: TELL ME ABOUT THE CHARGING NETWORK IN EUROPE. WAS IT ADEQUATE?
WIEBE: IT REALLY DEPENDS FROM ONE COUNTRY TO ANOTHER. SOME COUNTRIES IT'S REALLY EXCELLENT
BUT COUNTRIES NEXT TO THEM CAN BE REALLY BAD
LIKE BELGIUM. I FOUND ONE CHARGING PORT IN BRUSSELS, BUT IT WAS REGULAR 224 VOLT PLUG
INTERVIEWER: DO THEY NOT HAVE EVs in BELGIUM? WIEBE: THEY DO HAVE SOME. PEOPLE MOSTLY CHARGE THEM AT HOME. BUT NOW THE NETWORK HAS STARTED TO GROW
INTERVIEWER: TELL ME ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCES SO FAR IN INDIA. WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE?
WIEBE: IT WAS A CULTURE SHOCK AFTER DUBAI, WHERE ALL THE ROADS ARE [GESTURES] AND STRAIGHT AND EVERYTHING IS NEATLY ORGANISED
WHILE HERE EVERYTHING IS HAPHAZARD AND CHAOTIC, WHICH I LIKE
BECAUSE IT'S MORE LIKE AN ADVENTURE
THE PEOPLE ARE VERY NICE, VERY FRIENDLY [DOES INDIAN HEAD WAGGLE]
INTERVIEWER: BU YOU HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE AT THE INDIAN CUSTOMS OFFICE. IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO GET YOUR CAR
YES, I THOUGHT IT TOOK A LONG TIME. THE (CARGO) VESSEL ARRIVED FIVE DAYS LATER THAN EXPECTED, AND IT TOOK FOUR DAYS MORE TO GET THE CAR
WHICH I THOUGHT WAS LONG TIME, BUT EVERYONE I SPOKE TO WAS VERY LUCKY. SOMETIMES IT CAN TAKES WEEKS OR EVEN MONTHS BEFORE THEY RELEASE A CAR
SO I WAS OK WITH IT. WHAT WAS IT LIKE INTERACTING WITH THOSE BUREAUCRATS AND OFFICIALS?
YEAH, IT WAS [SHAKES HEAD] LUCKILY I HAD SOMEONE WITH ME FROM A LOGISTICS COMPANY WHO HANDLED ALL THE WORK, BUT YEAH, IT WAS LIKE A SLAPSTICK MOVIE
RUNNING FROM ONE OFFICE TO THE OTHER TO GET A STAMP. IT WAS LIKE A BAD B-MOVIE, IT WAS HILARIOUS
NOW THAT YOU'RE LEAVING BOMBAY AND HEADING TO BANGLADESH, WHAT ROUTE ARE YOU PLANNING TO TAKE?
I'LL GO STRAIGHT TO "NAGESH" SOMETHING? "NISHAK"? "NASHAK"?
INTERVIEWER: "NASIK"?
DO YOU HAVE ANY CONTACTS THERE? ANYONE WHO'S VOLUNTEERED?
A FEW. IT'S ABOUT 2200 KM, SO I'LL NEED TO STOP 10-15 TIMES, I EXPECT. SO I THINK I MAY NEED MORE PEOPLE
INTERVIEWER: I THINK YOUR EXPERIENCE IN INDIA WILL BE A LOT DIFFERENT BECAUSE YOU'LL BE GOING THROUGH A LOT OF VILLAGES
SOME OF THEM ARE SO BACKWARD THAT I DOUBT THEY HAVE ELECTRICITY. ARE YOU WORRIED AT ALL ABOUT RUNNING INTO PROBLEMS? DO YOU HAVE A BACKUP PLAN (IF YOU CAN'T CHARGE)?
WIEBE: PUSH THE CAR? [LAUGHS] NO, I DID SOME RESEARCH, AND I THINK IT'S POSSIBLE. THERE ARE SOME MINOR VILLAGES THAT ARE INTERESTING
I THINK ON THE FIRST DAY I'LL STICK TO THE HIGHWAYS. BUT YES I AM WORRIED BECAUSE I'VE HEARD ABOUT POWER CUTS.
INTERVIEWER: AND WHERE IN BANGLADESH DO YOU INTEND TO STOP ONCE YOU'VE CROSSED THE BORDER
WIEBE: I WANT TO GO TO DACCA, AND THEN MYANMAR (BURMA). THEN THAILAND, INDONESIA, SINGAPORE
INTERVIEWER: AND FROM THERE YOU'LL FLY TO AUSTRALIA
OK, NOW I'D LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT THE CAR ITSELF. CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THE BATTERY, RANGE, ETC.?
WIEBE: IT'S A CONVERTED CAR. I CONVERTED IT IN 2009, AND SO IT'S A FIRST-GENERATION ELECTRIC CAR
37 kWh BATTERY, 200 KM RANGE, 150 kWh motor, 200 HORSEPOWER, TOP SPEED OF 260 KMPH.
CHARGING WITH A NORMAL SOCKET TAKES ABOUT 12 HOURS. YOU CAN CHARGE WITH A TYPE 2 CHARGER. IT CHARGES AT RATE OF 6.7 kW MAXIMUM, SO IT STILL TAKES 6 HOURS TO CHARGE THE CAR
INTERVIEWER: DOES IT HAVE REGENERATIVE BRAKING?
YES, IF YOU LET IT [THE ACCELERATOR] GO, IT REGENERATES
INTERVIEWER: IS THERE ANY SCOPE TO INCREASE THE CAPACITY OF THE BATTERY PACK? HAVE YOU CONSIDERED UPGRADING AT SOME POINT?
WIEBE: NO.
INTERVIEWER: I ALSO WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE CONVERSION. HOW EASY IT WAS, WHAT THE PROCEDURE WAS
WIEBE: I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE CONVERSION. AND I DON'T HAVE A TECHNICAL BACKGROUND SO I DON'T REALLY KNOW.
IT WAS SPONSORED. ACTUALLY IT WAS BORROWED FOR THIS PROJECT, AND SO WHEN I GOT IT, IT WAS ALREADY CONVERTED
INTERVIEWER: THIS JOURNEY HAS BEEN VERY WELL PUBLICISED. FULLY CHARGED IS GOING TO BE DOING A FEATURE ON IT. PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD HAVE BEEN WATCHING
KNOWING THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE WATCHING AND BEING INSPIRED BY YOU, IS THERE ANY MESSAGE YOU WANT TO GIVE TO THE EV COMMUNITY AT LARGE?
WIEBE: I REALLY LIKE THE EV COMMUNITY. THE PEOPLE IN IT ARE VERY PASSIONATE. THEY LIKE TO SHARE A LOT OF INFORMATION WITH EACH OTHER
THAT REALLY HELPED ME TO GET WHERE I AM NOW AND I'M REALLY THANKFUL FOR THAT
[MY MESSAGE WOULD BE] JUST KEEP WORKING TOWARDS OUR GOAL: A LOW-CARBON SOCIETY WHERE EVERYONE DRIVES ELECTRIC CARS
AND KEEP INSPIRING GOVERNMENTS, COMPANIES, ETC. TO BECOME MORE SUSTAINABLE AND TO KEEP MAKING ELECTRIC CARS
INTERVIEWER: MY FINAL QUESTION - WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE FUTURE OF SUSTAINABILITY? WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON ELECTRIC CARS IN THE FUTURE? WHERE DO YOU SEE THE ROAD GOING FORWARD?
WIEBE: I HAVE HIGH HOPES. I WAS A LITTLE SCEPTICAL WHEN I STARTED THIS JOURNEY, BUT I SAW SO MANY INITIATIVES
WHO MANAGED TO TURN ENTIRE AREAS OR NEIGHBOURHOODS ALMOST CARBON NEUTRAL IN THE MIDDLE EAST
THAT WAS PROOF TO ME THAT YOU COULD LIVE ALMOST WITHOUT FOOTPRINTS
BY MAKING SMALL CHANGES TO YOUR HOUSE
AND OF COURSE YOU HAVE ELECTRIC CARS. OF COURSE, A PETROL-DEPENDENT COUNTRY WILL TAKE TIME TO IMPLEMENT THEM
BUT IN A FEW YEARS, EVERYONE AROUND THE WORLD WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE ROAD TRIPS IN AN ELECTRIC CAR.
INTERVIEWER: OK, THANKS A LOT FOR SPEAKING TO ME, WIEBE. AND WISH YOU BEST OF LUCK FOR YOUR FUTURE JOURNEY

Learn English Prepositions: TO or AT? - Duration: 8:30.
Hi.
I'm Rebecca from engVid.
In this lesson you'll learn the difference between two commonly confused prepositions,
which are "to" and "at".
So, the thing to remember is that "to" always suggests movement or direction.
All right?
"To" with movement, you're going to someone, to someplace, or towards something.
So, "to" is movement or direction, and "at" suggests a location in place or time.
So, "to" something, but "at" somewhere.
"To" something, "at" somewhere.
Do you see the difference?
"To", there's movement.
"At", you've already arrived.
Okay?
So: "to" and "at".
If you use those gestures it may help you to think through it while you're choosing
which preposition to use.
So, let's look at some examples.
So, as again...
As I said, again, we use "to" for movement or direction towards a person, a place, or a thing.
For example: "I talked to him.",
"We went to school.",
"She walked to her car."
A person, a place, a thing.
Movement, "to".
Okay?
All right, here are some other common verbs.
There are lots and lots of verbs that we can use with this preposition "to", which implies movement.
These are some examples.
You go to someplace, you go to school.
You go to the university.
You go to work.
You run to something.
You fly to London.
You return to somewhere.
Okay?
Or you can also use lots of verbs with "to" plus a person.
You explain something to someone, send a letter to someone, read it to someone, write to someone,
or speak to someone.
There's a direction.
Right?
Whether you're speaking, or writing, or walking, or running
- "to" is always movement and direction.
Good.
Now, "at" is steady.
Whereas "to" is moving, "at" is very steady.
"At" stays in one place, "at" is location, location and place, location and time.
For example: "We arrived"-where?-"at the airport."
We drove to the airport, and then we arrived at the airport.
All right?
So: "We arrived at the airport."
Or: "Wake me up at 6:00."
So, again, it's a location or a place in time, or a physical place.
All right?
Got it?
Now, here are some other examples of verbs that you can use with "at", but again, there
are lots and lots of verbs.
So what's really important is not to learn the verbs, but to learn how these prepositions
are used and what exactly they mean.
But here are some examples.
We stayed at the hotel, for example.
I live at...
I work at...
I eat at this restaurant.
I shop at the mall.
Okay?
So, "at" plus place or sometimes "at" plus time.
Call me at 5:00.
Let's meet at noon.
Let's start at 10:00.
Okay?
So we have "at", location.
Okay?
Arrival, and "to" is always movement or direction.
Got that?
Now let's do a little quiz to make sure that you really got it.
All right, now let's do the quiz.
Now remember: "to" indicates movement and "at" indicates location or arrival.
So, here we go.
"We stayed _______ home." "at home" or "We stayed to home"?
"We stayed"...
In all of these cases you have to choose between "to" and "at".
"We stayed at home."
Okay?
Stay somewhere.
"I spoke _______ Jack."
"to Jack", "I spoke at Jack"?
What do we say?
"I spoke
to".
The direction of your speech is towards Jack.
Next: "She went _______ the bank."
"to the bank" or "at the bank"?
"She went", so "went" is movement.
Right?
Think of the verb.
The verb is talking about movement.
"She went to the bank."
Next: "I bought this keychain _______ the gift shop."
"to the gift shop" or "at the gift shop"?
So here the answer would be
"at".
Very good.
Next... The next one:
"Meet me _______ the coffee shop."
"Meet me to the coffee shop", "at the coffee shop"?
What do we say?
"Meet me
at", right?
Because it's a place.
Next: "The movie starts _______ 4:00."
"to 4:00", "at 4:00"?
Which one is right?
"The movie starts
at", okay?
We always use "at" for very specific times.
Next: "We flew _______ Amsterdam."
What do we say?
"We flew..."
Flew, movement.
Right?
Flying is movement.
"to Amsterdam", very good.
"I sent a card _______ my Mom."
Sending, is it movement?
Yes.
Sending implies movement, so for movement we have to say:
"I sent a card to my Mom."
Okay.
"She read a story _______ her son."
When you're reading, the activity is directed towards someone, so:
"She read a story
to her son."
And the last one: "John studied _______ the library."
So, where was he?
Was he in one place or was he moving?
He was in one place, one location.
All right?
So we can say: "John studied
at the library."
Okay?
I hope that my little demonstrations helped you to understand the meaning
of "to" as well as "at".
All right?
