House or Home?
A house is a specific type of building. A house is
a physical thing, but 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 another type of
structure.
In English, we often use the word “house” when
talking about the building itself (for example, “I
live in a small house”), and “home” with the
verb “go” and the preposition “at.” For
example, you can say, “I was at home last
night” – or when you leave work, you can say,
“Bye everyone. I’m going home.”
