house / home
A house is a specific type of building. It is different from an apartment. A house is a
physical thing – we can talk about a big house, a small house, a blue house, etc. You
can also talk about doing work on your house – painting your house, remodeling
your house, building a house, and so on.
The word home is more of an emotional idea – it means the place where you live,
and where you have a special emotional attachment – where you feel comfortable,
safe, and happy. Your "home" can be a house, an apartment, or any other place or
type of structure.
We usually use “home” when describing your location:
I was at home last night.
I was in my house last night.
We also tend to use “home” with the verbs go and get:
Bye everyone. I’m going home.
What time do you normally get home from work?
