"В какой город он едет?"

Translation: Which city is he going to?

[jarender]

I'm not sure why, "To which city is he going? " is not an acceptable answer.

[AndreasAan]

I agree, it is seen as more "proper" not to end a sentence with a preposition in english.

[Adam82-]

To which city is he going? Should be perfectly acceptable.

[ElnSxV]

To which city is he going?

[WarrenMoffitt]

"To which city is he going?" Is the proper way to ask that in English. The rule is you do not end a sentence in a preposition.

[Christophe963802]

That is a style rule, not a grammar rule. There's nothing grammatically incorrect about ending English sentences with prepositions, and doing so often makes them much clearer.

[jvdn.aze]

why not "в какой городе"

[Norrius]

Direction vs. location. Here he is moving towards the city, hence the Accusative.

Besides, it would be «в каком городе»: the word is masculine and not feminine.

[redbluerat]

I used travelling. Isn't this more correct translation for едет?

[KeithBrown932]

Me too. Not accepted. Why?

[yasmine_y]

I used "driving". :/ Report it and wait.

Because most of us over 50 years old in the US would always have sentences ending with prepositions marked wrong on all their school papers, almost anyone in the country frequently hears constructions such as "to which city is he going". Younger people understand this, even if they may not use it, older folks simply find it hard to bring themselves to use the translation you seem to require.

[David483540]

That's a rule that doesn't apply to prepositions that are actually part of the verb, analogous to separable verbs in German and the other Germanic languages. Otherwise, we would write a lot of strange sentences up with which we do not put.

[RocketJunk]

"In which city is he going?" is incorrect?

[Ema439209]

not in -- на (prep) = in -- на (acc) = to

[KeithBrown932]

In good English, a preposition is something you should not end a sentence with.

[YardenNB]

"Which city is he driving to?" was marked wrong. Is it? I thought that ехать has the meanings of "go by car" and "driving".

[yasmine_y]

It should be correct.

[808traveler]

why going and not go?

[David483540]

You could translate the Russian sentence into the present tense "To which city does he go?" instead of the present progressive "To which city is he going?"

[stenflod]

нужны несколько вариантов переводов. В этом случае дословный перевод будет не в "в какой город он едет", а " в который город он собирается"

[a.theroot]

Я вот согласен. Я просто на английском написал "what city
does he go", и вдруг оказалось, что не верно.

[pharrell_ts]

why едет and not идёт?

[ph.V8cj6W]

"To which city he is going" is not acceptable??

[Just_Taylor]

Why, To which country is he going, is not acceptable?

[Kundoo]

"City" and "country" are different things.

[PeteGeisle]

The grammar police got you on that one!

[KhaledMoalpha]

Why we can start with "to"?

[Natalya465084]

What i just don't get is why such unusual questions that we dont use everyday like do sentences like 'i am going to the supermarket
