"Your opinion may be different to someone else."
Is there any thing wrong with this sentence?

Hi,

Personally I use 'different from' but don't worry about that. The main point is that you are talking about two opinions - your opinion and what someone else thinks. For that reason you have to indicate that your opinion is different not from someone else but someone else's opinion.

it means the following sentence is correct.
"Your opinion may be different to someone else's."
There is no problem with "to". If not then, "to/from", which one is preferable in this situation?
Another question--
"The boy goes to the school."
Can we say that the underlined part is adverb?
