Zambia: Levy On Four-Day Angola State Visit - The Times of Zambia

PRESIDENT Levy Mwanawasa leaves for Angola today for a four-day state visit.

A very tiny mistake was found!. Intead of saying "leaves for Angola", in my understanding that should be "leaves to Angola" when it's meant the direction where one is going to and "leaves from Angola" when it's meant the place where one is getting off. I can be wrong, but this is what I have learned and I never heard any Canadian saying "Leaves for a place" I hope you appreciate that. I am just trying to help. Please, don't misinterpret my intention.

Kindly, Feliciano Domingos

Again! My teacher from Australia said to me that that shoud also be "leaves Angola" if you mean that one is going away from a certain place.

Correct me weather my coment makes no sense. I enjoy learning.

Hi. "Leaves for Angola" means that he is on his way to Angola. The article is right.

I guess you meant to say "whether" and not "weather"
