Hi there, this Harry. And welcome back to my podcast where I tried to help you to understand the English language a little better help you with some aspect of communication so that you can have some interesting dialogue with people that you meet whether on your business travels or on your holidays. So we look at things like idioms and other expressions that will help you to understand how the language should be used. So in this particular podcast, I'm again talking about Holmes. But I'm looking at the patterns are different verbs that we use with the word home on how to use them properly so we can have a number. We can go home, come home, get home, return home. So four particular verbs go home, Come home, get home on return home. We all went home together. We left the party. We all went home together. I wish he'd come home. I want to start the dinner. I wish he'd come home. I want to start the dinner. When will he return home? Question? When will he return home? What time did you get home? Last night. What time did you get home? Last night. Okay, so different examples off those verbs. We all went home together. I wish he'd come home. Meaning I wish he would come home. When will he return home? On DH. What time did you get home last night? Another question notice. When we're using those sentences and we're using home, we don't include the proposition to It's not. We all went to home. It's not. I wish you'd come to home. It's not. When will he return to home? On its Not what time did you get toe home? We don't use the proposition. It's there. We all went home. I wish he would come home. When will he return home? What time did you get home without the proposition to? So we're really, really careful with that. We can say to return back home, to go back home, to get back home and to come back home again without the proposition to so returned back home after a long holiday, I returned back home after many months away. I would like to go back home next week. If the doctor will release me from the hospital. I would like to go back home next week. When will I get back home. Who knows? Hopefully it would be in a few weeks. It depends when this project is over on. My boss will let me go. When will I get back home? Question another question. When will you come back home? Will you come back home in time for Christmas? You know somebody asking a relative who's being away for a while and they want to know what they're going to turn up for Christmas or New Year or some other celebration. When will you come back home? Okay, so these verbs are very simple verbs, OK? To go home, to come home, to get home and returned home. Very simple verbs, but very careful. As I said, you don't use the proposition to so always use them without We all went home. I wish he would come home. When will he return home? And finally what time did you get home? Okay. People with Children, particularly at school, they go to school, but they come home. Yeah. Okay. So go to school. But come home or return home or get home. Okay, So they're just some simple examples off patterns we can establish with the word home as they refused for particular verbs, so you practise them and see whether you can get it right. But remember, don't use that proposition. Two. OK, good. So again, thanks for listening to this particular podcast. If you need to contact me, you can do so.
