Common mistakes

thereto 是正式/书面副词，意为“向那个事物、对此”，并不用于日常表示“到某个地方”。汉语释义“往那边、到那”容易让人误把它当作 there 的同义词；在 go 等移动动词后表达地点方向时，应直接用 there。
The weather was bad. Thereto, the meeting was cancelled.The weather was bad. Therefore, the meeting was cancelled.
thereto 的意思是“到那个、对此”，不能表示因果结果；要表达“因此”应用 therefore。二者都以 there- 开头且都偏正式，学习者容易混淆，但语义和句法功能不同。
