Question

Choose the appropriate preposition and fill in the blank:
I must go _________ the bank today to change some money.
a) In
b) To
c) At
d) Into

Answer 1

Hint: The sentence in the above-given question indicates a movement from one place to another, i.e. the speaker has to travel from the place he is and reach the bank.

Complete answer:
A preposition is a word or group of words used before a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase to show direction, time, place, location, spatial relationships, or to introduce an object. In the above question, we are talking about movement from one to another direction or destination, i.e. from where the speaker is and the place, he travels to (bank).
So, let us look into the options we have and find out which is the most suited to be used to show this movement.
Option (a) ‘In’ – is a preposition that indicates place, and it is used to depict or show a person within or inside something, i.e. at the point itself.
Option (b) ‘To’ – is the proposition that shows movement. We use ‘to’ when we need to indicate movement between two places.
Option (c) ‘At’ – it is used when we refer to building as locations in a city or we talk about a specific time or place.
Option (d) ‘Into’ – it is used to indicate a position in or inside something, or to show a change in the state or direction of something.
Therefore, as can be understood from the above explanation the correct solution would be an option (b), i.e. the preposition ‘to’.

Note:
The preposition ‘into’ talks about the direction but it cannot be used here as we need a proposition that describes ‘movement’ and not direction.
