When Can I use (to, that) and when can not
Hello, I am confused about the usage of "to" or "that" in the following sentences.1) I am going to sleep to in the bedroom (Is it Ok?) ** or, you could say 'I am going to the bedroom to sleep'
2)I think that we must arrive early / I think we must arrive early (which one is ok or is more common and natural) - Both are OK to use. The second one is a little more natural. Also you can say 'I think we should arrive early'
3)I want to go to the restaurant (Is it Ok?) Yes - this is fine!
4) I need to see to my parents / I need to see my parents (which one is ok or is more common and natural) the first one is incorrect. The second one is fine, and also natural/common.
5) I don´t know what to say / I don´t know what saying (which one is ok or is more common and natural) The first one is right and common/natural - the second one is incorrect. You could say 'I don't know what I am saying', but it changes the meaning a little.
