제목 home vs house 등록일 2025-03-10
내용 Home is individual place and emotional place.
home is home itself.
Don’t use in front of home which is ‘to, the and my’ instead use in front of home which is ‘go, back and at’.

house is not individual place.
house is place for everyone.
So, speak house can say my house.



I have one question.

when do we use ‘to’?
I don’t know what I mean I always use say to blahblah~~
I know I want to~, I have to~ I go to~, etc.
but, I use to in front of all of the words say ‘to’ blahblah~~

Hi Jueun,

You're correct about house vs home. Nice work ^  ^

Great question! I hope this helps.

"To" functions as both a preposition and an infinitive marker in English grammar, indicating direction, purpose, or forming the infinitive of a verb.

Here's a breakdown of its usage:
1. As a Preposition:
  • Direction/Movement:
    "To" indicates movement towards a place or person. 
     
  • Example: "I'm going to the store." 
     
  • Example: "I work from 9 to 5." 
     
  • Example: "This is a gift to you." 
     
  • Examples: "I object to your comment." 
     
  • Examples: "The key to success is hard work." 
     
2. As an Infinitive Marker:
  • Forming the Infinitive:
    "To" is used before the base form of a verb to create an infinitive. 
     
  • Example: "I want to go." 
     
  • Example: "I came to help you." 
     
  • Examples: "He agreed to help." 
     
  • Examples: "It's important to study."
 
3. "To" vs. "Too" and "Two":
  • "To": As explained above, it indicates direction, purpose, or forms the infinitive. 
     
  • Example: "I like apples, and so do I like oranges, too." 
     
  • Example: "I have two apples.
  • Time/Duration:
    "To" can indicate a period of time or a range. 
     
  • Relationship:
    "To" can show a relationship between words, like possession or attachment. 
     
  • After Certain Verbs:
    Some verbs are followed by "to" as a preposition. 
     
  • After Certain Nouns:
    Some nouns are followed by "to". 
     
  • Purpose/Reason:
    Infinitives often express the purpose or reason for an action. 
     
  • After Certain Verbs:
    Many verbs are followed by an infinitive (often with "to"). 
     
  • Examples: "She learned to swim." 
     
  • After Certain Adjectives:
    Some adjectives are followed by an infinitive (often with "to").
