Elsewhere: in another place

The idea

Use meet elsewhere, look elsewhere or stay elsewhere without naming the alternative place. You can also say from elsewhere to emphasize a source.

Examples

• The room was full, so we met elsewhere.
• She looked elsewhere for the book.
• Some guests stayed elsewhere.
• We can find a table elsewhere.
• The information came from elsewhere.
• The café was closed, so they decided to eat elsewhere.

Watch out

Elsewhere tells you the place is different but does not specify exactly where it is.
