Dear Teachers,

1. How do you go to school everyday?
2. How do you come to school every day?

- Which is the correct sentence?

3. - What's the matter with you?
- What's up with you?

- I've got a headache. - I've got a temperature/ a fever.
- I've got a toothache. - I've got a stomachache.
- I've got a sore throat. - I've got a runny nose.
- I've got a cold.

- Are these natural to say?

Thanks very much to Teachers.

1. How do you go to school everyday?
2. How do you come to school every day?

- Which is the correct sentence?

Both sentences are correct, but for me they seek different information or at the very least would be asked in different contexts. Sentence #1 might deal with which route I take to school and be asked by someone unrelated to school, or it might be taken as a snide remark. Sentence #2 seems less common, but I, as a teacher, might ask it of a student.

The think the better choice might be "How do you get to school everyday?"

The other sentences are all natural.

Just my opinion - Kristi
