near

1

Is the hotel near from the station?
Is the hotel near the station?

Use near + noun, without from or of: ‘The hotel is near the station.’ ‘I want to live near my family.’

Near to is also correct, especially in British English, but to is not necessary: ‘The hotel is near to the station.’

We normally use to after the comparative and superlative forms: ‘This hotel is nearer to the station.’ ‘Which hotel is nearest to the station?’

2

There aren’t any shops near.
There aren’t any shops nearby.

Use near + noun: ‘There aren’t any shops near my house.’

Use nearby without a noun after it: ‘There aren’t any shops nearby.’ ‘My mum lives nearby.’

3

We stopped at a near supermarket to buy some food.
We stopped at a nearby supermarket to buy some food.

Use nearby before a noun when something is close: ‘a nearby supermarket’, ‘a nearby hotel’, ‘a nearby town’.

Near can appear before a noun in some expressions, such as ‘the near future’ and ‘the near side’. However, before the name of a nearby place, use nearby.
