"i went abroad" vs "I went to the aboroad"

The correct phrase is 'I went abroad.' 'Abroad' is an adverb that means in or to a foreign country, so it doesn't need a preposition like 'to' before it.

Last Updated: March 24, 2024

i went abroad

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

Use 'I went abroad' to indicate that you traveled to a foreign country or overseas.

Examples:

  • Last summer, I went abroad to study French.
  • She loves to travel, so she often goes abroad for vacations.

I went to the aboroad

This phrase is incorrect. 'Abroad' already implies the idea of going to a foreign country, so 'to the' is redundant and incorrect.


Alternatives:

  • I went abroad
