home前使用冠词的规律

■当home单独使用即前后不加修饰词或短语时，不用定冠词：

■当home单独使用时，可以直接跟在具有运动意义的动词之后，或紧随在具有运动意义的动词+宾语之后。换句话说，home可以当副词使用：

May I have permission to go home early? 能允许我早回家吗?

Not knowing what to do, I went home. 我不知道怎么办好，就回家了。

We arrived home towards evening. 快天黑时我们到家了。

■当home之前或之后带有修饰词或修饰短语时，其用法和其他名词相同：

They went to their new home. 他们到自已的新家去了。

We arrived at the bride’s home. 我们到了新娘的家(www.yygrammar.com)。
