the difference between home and house

[Sama2]

hi dear teachers good evening
can u please tell me the usage of home and house

[Beeesneees]

A 'house' is basically the structure/the building where you live.
'Home' is the concept that turns a 'house' into the place where you live, and where generally you would expect to feel comfortable and safe.

Hi Sama,

There's a television advertisement that tells you about things you can buy for where you live, for your house. The words used in the advertisement say: Make a house a home, which suggests that you turn your house into a comfortable place to live in if you buy certain products

Thanks for the questions and the answer, I have a question, I see a slogan that's "home sweets home". How can i understand it?

Hi Sama,

Let's start again. A house is a place, a building where you live. It usually has a number or sometimes a name. She lives at number 24, West Grove Street, that is her house. A home is also a place where you live but it also describes a place where you feel comfortable and relaxed because it's your house and you live there. It's used in expressions as in this sentence: He's lived in China for 20 years and now he wants to go home to his own country.

Hi Nmthao_1989,

The expression is 'home, sweet home' and it describes either the place where you live or your own country. It's called 'sweet' because it gives you feelings of warmth and happiness. You would make this remark as you arrive at your front door after a long absence because you are very pleased to be home.

I think it is easy to learn it like this :

you can live in diffrent kind of house like condo or townhouse .But HOME is a place where you live.For example if somebody ask you "what kind of house do you live in?", you can answer : I live in a townhouse. But if they ask "what kind of home do you live in?" it might mean how is your family ?

Am I right?

best regards
