1039 - Head Means GO - English Tips in a Minute

Hey there! It’s Michael here — and welcome back to English Tips in a Minute from Happy English. I’m here every week with a short, simple tip to help you speak English more naturally and confidently.

Today, let’s look at a really common conversational use of the word “head.” In everyday English, we use head or head to to mean go to or move toward a place. It’s a very natural way to talk about going somewhere.

• You can say things like, “I’m gonna head to the gym.” OR “Let’s head to the pub.”
• You can also use it in the past tense: “We headed home early.” or “After work, I headed to the store.”

This use of head is very common in everyday conversation. So let me know in the comments where you’re gonna head today, and remember to follow or subscribe so you don’t miss the next Happy English Podcast and next week’s English Tips in a Minute.

Hey, thanks for listening — and until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.
