He ran fast and landed to that house. Is this sentence gramatically correct?
6 answers
It's usually in that house, but I'd like to know if to that house is correct as well.

We don't 'land' either in or to a house, unless we are flying a plane or helicopter and come down on the roof of the house.

To is not correct. Either in or on would be.

Your sentence should be written like this: He ran quickly, and ended up at that house.

possibly at, but never to. running does not usually end in a landing either, so not the proper choice of words.

"Landed" is not right here, because if he is running he is already on the land. Informally, though, you could say "landed up at that house." If this is a formal context, you need something like "arrived at that house."
