I like to use as many words as humanly possible all the time so the sounds will fill up the awkward silence, so I don’t think that using ‘the’ or ‘from’ is nearly enough. More words! More words!!

If I’m a student there, I “go to Seminary”. If it’s a visit, I’m “going to the Seminary”.

I would say “graduate from high school” in nearly every circumstance. I might say “graduated high school in 1988″ and drop the “from”. But now that I look at it, dropping “from” looks grammatically improper to me. A cylinder can be graduated though.

it depends on the situation. If i’m going to the seminary building it’s the building, but if i am a person that takes the class seminary, i go to seminary. Same with high school. I graduated high school, but i graduated FROM jordan high school.

I’m a “without” kind of gal. I also can’t stand when people say “Hand me a scissors.” A pair of scissors, a pair of scissors people!!!!!!

I would say, “He’s going to Seminary.”

But I would say, “He’s graduating from High School.”

So what does that say about the me?
