How do I use the preposition "to", as in Kyoto to Tokyo?

You say "from Kyoto to Tokyo" which is Kyoto kara Tokyou made. You can use kara and made in time expressions too, like ichi-ji kara ni-ji made, from one o'clock until two o'clock.

You can use kara and made individually: eiga-wa roku-ji kara desu, the movie starts at six o'clock.

mangbob4169-san, マイケルsan,

that's perfect, マイケルsan! Thank you!! :D

You can also use "ni" and "e" like "Kyoto kara Tokyo ni" and "Kyoto kara Tokyo e" :wink:
