Is it possible to use the word 'to' at the end of a question?
For example:-
Q - Where are you off to?
A - I'm off to the shops.
Q - Do you know where you're going to?
A - I'm going to Bellas house.
Q - Where would you like to meet me to?
A - I would like to meet you at the Library.
Q - Where is that to?
A - I think it is slightly to the right.
I have heard mied veiws on this subject, I have been told by English Language and Literature A level teachers that all of the above sentences are perfectly grammatical.
However numerous people from outside of the county I live in have told me that putting 'to' at the end of these questions does not make grammatical sense.
I am thoroughly confused and do not want to be using this way of phrasing a question in either written work or everyday speech if it is in fact wrong.
Please help.
