"To" is there to introduce an indirect object. "Talk" can have an indirect object (the person to whom you talk), and occasionally it can have a direct object (the thing you talk). It can have a direct object without an indirect object, and it can have an indirect object without a direct object: "He talked nonsense to her" (direct and indirect objects) "He talked gibberish". (direct object) "He talked to her" (indirect object)

Great question! The difference lies in the verbs "see" and "talk", and how they connect to the listener. 1. "See you later" * The verb "see" does not need a preposition like "to" because it's a direct action between the subject (you) and the object (the person you're speaking to). * Example: I see you every day. * Here, "see" is used directly without "to." 2. "Talk to you later" * The verb "talk" usually needs the preposition "to" because it describes communication directed toward someone. * Example: I want to talk to you about something. * "Talk" requires "to" because it clarifies who is receiving the communication. In short: * "See you later" = Direct action of seeing someone. * "Talk to you later" = Communication directed to someone. Let me know if you'd like more examples or further explanation! 😊

“Talk to you” is a one way communication “Talk with you” two way communication

In English English you talk to a person, speak to a person, write to a person, listen to a person etc etc. Unlike American English where it’s not used very much.

The verb "talk" almost invariably is accompanied by the preposition "to" (or, less frequently, "with"). In standard English we never say "I talked them" or "Sarah is talking her mother." In both cases "to" follows the verb "talk." We use "speak" in much the same fashion (though often one sees "speak with" in addition to "speak to"). But "see" doesn't require a preposition: simply place the direct object after the verb (eg, I see the house....When will I see you again?....She hopes to see them later).
