a traditional house |
Many students have asked me about this, so it seems like a
good topic for today's lesson.
a very modern house |
house: a building
where people live. Not an apartment or
condominium.
home: a place where
people live, and where they belong. This
includes a house, an apartment, a condominium, a city, a town, a country, a
favourite restaurant or bar.
As you can see, home is more of a feeling. This affects the grammar as well.
Using "to"
I am going to my house.
I am going to Mary's house.
I am going home. (no preposition)
I am going to my home. (This definitely means where I live
and requires a preposition)
Welcome home!
Welcome to my house.
Using "at"
I will meet you at my house.
I will meet you at home.
