Tyypillinen virhe:
Learners sometimes say *'to eastward'* instead of 'eastward' or 'to the east'. Use 'eastward' alone as an adverb (e.g., 'The road runs eastward') or use 'to the east' as a separate phrase. Some learners also confuse 'east' and 'eastward': 'east' can be a noun, adjective, or adverb, but 'eastward' is mainly an adverb or adjective about direction of movement or facing.
