    Near /near to
    Message from a_limon posted on 29-05-2012 at 20:29:05 (D | E | F)
    Hello!

    Could you say to tell me whether my sentence is grammatically correct.
    "The cities near to an ocean or sea are always beautiful."
    I think there is something wrong here, but I can't say what it is.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hello,

    You should write near an ocean or next to an ocean...
    Hope it will help

    Muscari

    Hello,

    We can use 'near to' with a specific meaning and it is especially British English.

    Your sentence is correct.
