home前使用冠詞的規律

■當home單獨使用即前后不加修飾詞或短語時，不用定冠詞：

■當home單獨使用時，可以直接跟在具有運動意義的動詞之后，或緊隨在具有運動意義的動詞+賓語之后。換句話說，home可以當副詞使用：

May I have permission to go home early? 能允許我早回家嗎?

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

We arrived home towards evening. 快天黑時我們到家了。

■當home之前或之后帶有修飾詞或修飾短語時，其用法和其他名詞相同：

They went to their new home. 他們到自已的新家去了。

We arrived at the bride’s home. 我們到了新娘的家(www.hz123456.com)。
