Częsty błąd:
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.

|
to the east (More common everyday phrase; often used instead of the single-word adverb.)
Antonimy

Częsty błąd:
Learners sometimes use 'east' instead of 'eastward' before a noun, saying *'an east trip'* instead of 'an eastward trip' or 'a trip to the east'. Use 'eastward' to describe movement or direction, and 'eastern' to describe location or region (e.g., 'eastern city').
