① A man is a new man in the story; the man (or “he”) is one already spoken about and known to the listener(s).
A man wants in general situations. The ‘s‘ is there to show we are talking about 1 man in the present tense.
We buy gifts ora gift for persons or a person. He is buying for workers, so buys more than 1.
② A man sometimes, usually, always or never goes somewhere. We use this tense for telling stories. The man buys phone cases because he has many employees.
Heading to a place means starting to go to that place. ‘To’ is a pre-position. It comes “pre” or before the position. As with all prepositions, it is there to indicate the relationship between the subject and the object (the destination). Our man heads to the office, because it is his office; it is known. He puts the cases on the roof of his car. The cases, because they are known cases. The roof of the car, because the car has one roof, and it’s his car because he owns it. He opens the door; it’s the door because the car has one door that the man is opening.
On the way to the office means while going to the office. This clause (A group of words containing a subject and verb phrase is “a clause”) shows when they (the cases) fall off the top of the car. It’s the top, because the car has only one top.

[To] Find Hotel[s] And [A] School

6th Avenue Looking South from about 52nd Street, NYC

From Twitter
You’re going to NYCーthe greatest city in the world! Butーyou don’t know where the Kendo schools are or where to stay!

Fill in:

Yuniko: I need __ find __ hotel, and __ Kendo school.
Ken: I can help you find ____ schools and hotel_!

a. some
b. a
c. the
d. to
e. s

Answers:
Yuniko: I need _to_ find _a_ hotel, and _a_ Kendo school.
Ken: I can help you find __some__ schools and hotel_s_!

Explanation:
1. We need ‘to‘ in front of find, because it comes after need (a helping verb); in these situations we use infinitives (‘to‘ + the Verb). ‘Need’ is the verbーso after need we need a noun (as object of the verb); an infinitive is a noun form of a verb (but because we know it is the noun form of a verb implying action to be taken or done, we call it “a Verbal,” too).

Just remember:


Want + t0+ Verb

3. We need a in front of hotel and Kendo school to let the listener know that we are talking about a non-specific entity (someone or something the listener doesn’t know exactly about or hasn’t heard about yetーin the conversationーa new thing.

3. We use ‘some’ and ‘s’ together, because no ‘a’ comes before School and hotel (and there is no space for you to fill in those letters), so we know the speaker is talking about more than on school and more than one hotel.
