I was searching for the difference between 'opposite to' and 'opposite of' and I came across an answer which said that you can drop the 'to' when talking about things that are physically located in opposite places or facing each other. For example:
- They sat opposite each other.
- I parked the car opposite the bank.
- There's a nice park opposite my hotel.
- The people sitting opposite us looked very familiar.
- You'll see it on the wall opposite the door.
- Some soldiers fought opposite their fathers, brothers, or other family members.
I'm not sure about dropping the 'to.' Is it comparatively more natural?
