_________________________

i would like to know why here we couldnt use the word 'outside'. and what's the meaning of "BEING :?: go abroad"?

[Mister Micawber]

'
Outside means beyond an enclosure of some sort, and we do not expect that the listener to this sentence is inside a prison or other enclosure, since s/he is merely taking a holiday from regular routine. Abroad (= overseas) is a common holiday destination for those who can afford it.

I am not clear on why you added being to your second question, but to go abroad is to travel overseas, as I said.

For me, that sentence depend on our contexts. Are you going absent for your holidays this year? It makes sense. She or she is not going anywhere included take a vacation abroad.

Please, correct me.

Many thanks.

[Mister Micawber]

It may make sense to you, Watie, but there is nothing grammatically correct about any of your post. Please restrict yourself to asking questions, not answering them.
