Accusative or dative?

Why is it "I am going to my house" and not "I am going to my house".

I always thought that you could connect dative objects with the question word "Where" and accusative with "wohin", but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

Because I have trouble distinguishing between accusative and dative, I need something other than the question words "wem" and "wen or was".

That's why I would like it if you could give me an alternative so that I can differentiate between dative and accusative. I'm still a student and really need help because no one can explain it to me in a way that I can differentiate between the two.

Google also says that the dative case refers to the place of the event, and the accusative case refers to the direction, or something like that. Can you please give me alternative question words?

(Thanks in advance and sorry if I made any typos)

(Editing):

I have my exams (qualification) soon and urgently need help.

It’s simple: The preposition “to” always demands the tripod.

What prepositions are required must be known or learned.

The “where?” or “where?” refers only to so-called “exchange pronouns”. They can occur both with Dativ and with battery.

The book is on the table. (WO?)

I put the book on the table.

By the way, this is not objects.

You think right – but not complete.

If the rechargeable question “where” is answered with the tripod preposition “to”, we have control competition. Then the Dativprepo beats the battery question. :-

Dativ = position, place = where.

Battery = action, movement = where. You have everything right on the screen!

Only if the movement verb follows an object with “to”, the Dativprepo takes over the direction and displaces the battery question.

I’m a native speaker. I say “to whom” would be very funny.

The sentence with abroad is correct but not particularly beautiful. Would rather say “ escaped from abroad”

Prepositions from, from, with, to, are always with Dativ used.

If the preposition in a Movement or Directions is the battery. Here the question of the “Where” fits: we take him to a psychiatric clinic. (Question: Where are we taking him?)
