[Grammar] Decide what to do and where to go

[ketcapov]

Hi !

I saw this sentences in my English book. 'Decide what to do and where to go.'

And If i do this sentence myself, i used to do like this 'Decide what you do and where you go to.

So what is the difference ? Is my version false ? or same meaning ?

Thank you in advance for help.

This is an imperative sentence. It tells you to do something.

'Decide 1) what to do and 2) where to go.

The subject of the sentence is (you)


(you) / decide /

(not a teacher)

It has the same meaning. You can also say, "Decide what it is that you are going to do and where it is that you're going to go." Or "Decide what you want to do and where you want to go."
This is imperative, as you know. There's an implied "You" at the beginning. "[You] decide what to do ..."

[STRIKE]And[/STRIKE] If I change this sentence myself, [STRIKE]i used to do[/STRIKE] like this: 'Decide what you do and where you go to'.

What is the difference? Is my version [STRIKE]false[/STRIKE] wrong or has it the same meaning?

Always capitalise 'I' and don't leave a space before a question mark.

Is used to do wrong? Why? Is it about if clause?

Raymott, I am confused by your answer. Are you saying that the OP's version is correct?

Ah, let me reassess it. Yes, it could be correct. But I was wrong in saying it had the same meaning. Of course, it's not very natural.
"Decide what you do and where you go to." This could mean "Decide what you need to do for this task and where you need to go to." But it doesn't read as well as it did when I posted last.
