Which is more grammatically correct - a guide to things to do or a guide of things to do?

How about "a guide on things to do".– MikeCommented Mar 29, 2015 at 19:35

As with most such questions, neither is more grammatical and each means something different. It may be more felicitous to ask about the nuances that each has.– AnonymCommented Mar 29, 2015 at 19:36

1There is "no such thing" as "grammatically correct" English. Even pidgin English would be "grammatically correct", if it conforms to a regional set of grammatical patterns. Such questions should be , "is it grammatically acceptable" within the circles of formal English usage.– Blessed GeekCommented Mar 29, 2015 at 22:23

A guide to things to do would be, for example, a guide book. A guide of things to do would give the impression that the things to do are themselves being guided. In the second case "guide" takes on the feeling of "guidelines".
