	CalifJim  +  358805 Tue, 01 May 07 10:03 PM I can't think of a real-life situation where such a sentence is needed!  It's a strange thing to say.  Leaving out the second to the would make it even stranger I think.  bank and movies seem so unrelated that I'd be tempted to repeat much more, using more words to explain the situation: Every Saturday, first I go to the bank, and then I go to the movies.

	Kekel  +  358839 Tue, 01 May 07 10:59 PM Yeah, I wanted to know if would be correct to suppress the bold part of the sentence. Using your examples: This job has to be done with needle and with thread. Would it be correct to say that or more commom not to use the conjuction again?? Thanks! Kekel

	Grammar Geek  +  358910 Wed, 02 May 07 03:22 AM I find it more natural to leave the second preposition out. (Not the conjunction.)
