thank you for your replies but I still need more information
What is the difference between saying
the school is near the bank
the school is near TO the bank
that's my question, the difference between near and near to referring to places.
The other was about would and used to but in past, not in present because I know that in present is like having a habit.
And the last one about have been to and have been in, somebody told me that the difference is when the person is still in the place or not:
E.g. How long have you been in Peru? It means that the turist (for example) is still in Peru. and the other: Have you been to Peru? is about the experience but the person isn't in Peru at the moment, is just a question about any time in his/her life..
Thanks
