    Question

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    In about two months, / our family will be / leaving to Australia / to settle there

    A.

    In about two months

    B.

    our family will be

    C.

    leaving to Australia

    D.

    to settle there

    Correct option is C

    Option (c) contains an error.
    Explanation:
    The preposition “to” is not used after “leaving” when talking about countries or large places.
    Correct usage is: “leaving for Australia” (not “to”).
    Correct sentence: Our family will be leaving for Australia.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    · Use “leave for” when indicating destination.
    · “Leave to” is incorrect in standard English when referring to travel/movement.
    Example:
    Incorrect – She left to Delhi.
    Correct – She left for Delhi.
    Information Booster:
    "Leave to" is only used in a different sense:
    e.g. "I leave the decision to you."
