Good morning, everyone. Could you please help me with the three following sentences? Which one is correct? We should leave out there which is an adverb in the sentences, shouldn't we? Thanks in advance.


  1. She lives too far from school to walk there.
  2. She lives too far from school to walk to.
  3. She lives too far from school to walk to school.

  1. She lives too far from school to walk there.:tick:
  2. She lives too far from school to walk to.:cross:
  3. She lives too far from school to walk to school.:?:
Number three is grammatical but very unnatural. Nobody would repeat "to school" when it can easily and naturally be replaced with there.
