Meaning
"I’m heading to"는 어떤 장소로 가고 있음을 표현할 때 사용되는 영어 표현입니다. 이 표현은 이동 방향을 나타내며, 주로 일상 대화에서 많이 사용됩니다. "I’m going to"와 유사하지만, "heading"은 조금 더 목적지를 향해 나아가고 있는 진행 상황을 강조합니다.
예를 들어, "I’m heading to the office"라고 하면 "나는 사무실로 가고 있어"라는 의미가 됩니다. 이 표현은 특히 이미 이동 중이거나 곧 이동할 예정일 때 사용하면 자연스러운 표현이 됩니다. 따라서 친구에게 "지금 어디로 가고 있어?"라는 질문을 받았을 때, "I’m heading to"를 사용하여 현재 가고 있는 장소를 설명할 수 있습니다.
일상 대화에서 "I’m heading to"를 사용하면 상대방에게 내가 어디로 가고 있는지 명확히 전달할 수 있는 효과적인 방법이 됩니다. 이 표현을 사용함으로써 대화의 흐름을 자연스럽게 이어갈 수 있습니다.
