Home can describe the place where you live and feel you belong.

The idea

Use house for a building and home for where someone lives. Say at home for location and go home for movement. Their new home uses home as a noun.

Examples

  • I am at home.
  • We live in a small house.
  • She goes home after work.
  • Their new home is near the station.
  • He works from home on Fridays.
  • The house has a blue door.
