Is it possible to say in the home, or we should always use at home? I am not sure whether I can use in the home.
I'm arguing with my girlfriend (we are not native English speakers), what is the proper form, go back home or come back home. For example, consider two versions: I will go to the office and then g...
Another example which I think shows the difference between the specific and general usage. When asked "Will you be here at 5" you could answer "I am going home at 4" or "I go home at 4". The first means, to me, that today the person will leave at 4 but perhaps not every day. The second means, again to me (I'm not a grammarian), that the person goes home at 4 every day.
Closed 10 years ago. Stay home. Stay at home. When "home" functions as an adverb, it can modify the verb "stay". There are other examples, such as "go home",but there is no expression: Go to home. So I wonder which one is correct.
If someone tell me that he's back home ("I'm back home now") does it mean that he's coming back home now or it means that he's already at home after some time that he wasn't there?
The most common expression would be I am at home all day. (Equally, all morning/afternoon.) Of your two, the former is more likely although you will hear the expression all the day long, often in a poetic or lyrical context.
When I live in an apartment, I use "my apartment" or sometimes "my home". So, I would say "my home" is more common simply because 'home' includes more types of dwellings than 'house'. If 'honey' is aware that I'm at home, I would probably just say "when I leave" without specifying what type of residence I'm leaving.
Thus, they were at work though possibly not "hard at work" at the moment. These people have a home that is not at the same place as their work. If they "take work home," or if they do their work with a computer or telephone that is at home, they might say, "I'm working from home." Farmers don't "work from home"; they just work.
I'm coming back home next week. [to your siblings or parents or friends who are at home with you when you say it.] If you are away from home, you say: I'm going back home next week.
You mean your home? The home you put your grandfather in? What? School I'm going to school. If the speaker appears to be leaving and heading elsewhere, then I would conclude that they are on their way to the school that they attend. If the speaker is staying put, then I would take this to mean that they are enrolled in classes at a ...
