home
当home单独使用即前后不加修饰词或短语时,不用定冠词:
He is at home.
他在家。
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:
He went home.
他回家了。
I arrived home after dark.
我天黑以后到家的。
但是,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。
For some years this was the home of your queen.
曾有些年头这里是你们王后的家。
A mud hut was the only home he had ever known.
一间小土屋就是他所知道的唯一的家。

to court(as litigants)上法院打官司
