Home or house?

[namsteven]

Dear Teachers !

- To drive sb home
- To get sb home
- To take sb home

I want to know the three ways above whether they are the same meaning or not ?

- I want to know when we use " home " , and when we use " house " ?.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Nam Steven.

Hi Steven,

Luiza is right - the word 'house' is more concrete - it's a building in which you can live. The word 'home' is a more general term, your home can be your flat, your apartment, your villa or your country.
However, you can also live in a 'mobile home' - in a trailer or truck. If you take somebody home you go home together with them. If you drive somebody home you give them a lift home in your car.

Hi,

As i'm watching american movies, i realized that in american english "house or place'' to mean house while ''home'' means country.

I'm home means " í'm back in town''.

But eventhough, home sometimes can be used to mean ''house'' too.
