覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
go to は「ある場所・目的地へ行く」という基本の移動表現です。to は矢印のように到着先を示すので、go to the station, go to the doctor, go to a party のように場所や用事の行き先を後ろに置きます。school や work でも、まずはそこへ向かう感覚を押さえると使いやすいです。home は例外的に go home と言い、go to home とはしません。
Think of `to` as an arrow showing the destination. `Go to` is the basic pattern for moving toward a place, event, or daily activity, as in `go to the station` or `go to a party`. Remember that `home` is special: we say `go home`, not `go to home`.

(意味 2)解説 Definition
学校・大学・教会・会議などに定期的に通ったり、授業や行事に出席したりする意味で使う。go to school は単に校舎へ向かうだけでなく、その学校に在籍して学ぶことも表せる。
"Go to" can mean to attend or regularly take part in something such as school, college, church, class, or a meeting. In these contexts, it often means more than simply moving to that place. For example, "go to school" can mean that someone studies there as a student, not just that they are walking to the building.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
go to は to が「向かう先」を示す基本形だが、school, college, church, class, meeting などが続くと、単なる移動よりも「そこに参加する・所属して通う」意味になりやすい。attend は少し改まった一語で「出席する」を直接表すのに対し、go to は日常会話で自然。go to the school は校舎へ行く感じが強く、go to school は通学・在学の意味になりやすい点も覚える。
Think of "to" as showing a destination. When words like school, college, church, class, or meeting come after "go to," the phrase often means joining, attending, or being connected with that place, not just moving toward it. "Attend" is a more formal one-word choice, but "go to" sounds very natural in everyday English. Also remember that "go to school" often means being a student there, while "go to the school" more strongly suggests going to the building.
例文
My daughter goes to school near our house.
娘は家の近くの学校に通っています。
I couldn't go to the meeting yesterday because I was sick.
昨日は病気で会議に出席できませんでした。
He still goes to church with his grandparents on Sundays.
彼は今でも日曜日に祖父母と教会に通っています。
go to の語源・成り立ち Etymology
"go"は古英語gān、印欧祖語*ghē-（行く）に遡る英語最古の基本動詞の一つ。過去形wentは別語wend（向かう）から借用された珍しい例。toが方向を示す。関連語: gone, ago
"Go" comes from Old English gan and goes back to an ancient Indo-European root meaning "to move" or "to go." It is one of the oldest basic verbs in English, though its past form "went" was borrowed from a different verb, "wend." "To" adds the idea of direction, so "go to" simply grew from the idea of moving toward a place or goal.
