Can you tell me please if this sentence is grammatically correct:
My school is near from my house.

It's easy to tell what you mean, but it's not correct and will sound strange to a native speaker. Typically in English we say near to or close to and far (away) from.

I'll add that, like the use of many prepositions, this is not predictable or explainable: it is just the way English is, and learners of English just have to learn it. Oct 10, 2016 at 19:24
You can just use near, the to is not needed:
The school is near my house.
Depending on how close you mean, you could also use
near by
The school is near by my house.
which has a closer meaning, e.g. across the street, than
The school is near to my house.
which can mean in your neighborhood.

Native English speakers don't speak like that. Just use "near." "Near to" is just as awkward as "near from." Aug 2, 2022 at 22:57
