Grammar 语法
Distance: A 离 B + 远/近
。
离 (lí) measures distance between two places: A 离 B 很远 = A is far from B. Ask with 远吗? or 远不远? Don't use 从 here — 从 is for movement, 离 is for distance.
From … to …: 从 A 到 B
。
从 marks the starting point, 到 the end. It works for places and times: 从八点到十二点 (from 8 to 12).
How you go: 坐 / 骑 + vehicle + 去
，。
Ride inside (bus, train, boat, plane) = 坐. Ride on top (bicycle, horse) = 骑 (qí). On foot = 走路去. The vehicle comes before the verb of motion.
