Hello, Harry.

(1) I agree with tedtmc: they are both correct -- depending on what

you wish to say:

(a) I have traveled to America many times.

(i) I have been to America many times/ I have gone there five times.

(2) I have traveled America five times.

(a) I have visited many different places in the United States on five

different occasions. In other words, I have traveled throughout the

country on five different occasions.

***** Thank you for your question *****

Yes, to be clear about the difference:
Traveled to America -- You didn't start in America, but it was your destination.
Traveled America -- You have visited many places within America.

Some people say things like "When I retire, I'm going to buy a big RV (that's a big trailer) and travel the country." That means they will see many parts of it, moving from one spot to another.

Note: Traveled is the standard spelling in the US. It's not wrong. It's weird to me that enrolled has two Ls here and traveled has one, but I supposed it's equally weird that enroled has one L in the UK and travelled has two.

Excuse me,
Can u explain why I can't use the preposition " to" instead of "in"
Can I say " I have traveled to America"?
Many thanks!

 

[Barb_D]

tedtmc, the parser, and I have all said that "to" is okay. Why do you think it's not okay now?

Many thanks for all of you!

I like both American and British English. I can't say which one I prefer... I don't understand why Americans and English people have so much disagreement on English Language.... I just want to say you both speak one language with a lot of variations...
