I might also say "Are you home?" or "Will you be home at 3 o'clock?" (instead of "at home") without feeling that I has spoken incorrectly. I think "home" is just one of these odd words that doesn't require a preposition. ("Downtown" works the same way.)http://www.englishforums.com/English/StayHomeStayAtHome/bwgvp/post.htm#124701Mon, 26 Jan 2009 01:04:01 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:124701Philip2http://www.englishforums.com/English/StayHomeStayAtHome/bwgvp/post.htm#124701http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-124701.xmlEimai_Anglos wrote: "I want to stay at home." This is the correct version. "I want to stay home" is used but, in my opinion, is not gramatically correct. "I want to go home" is correct. Would you prefer "I want to go to home? I think this is just an example of our irrational use of prepositions, where we have few veritable rules, and only common usage to use as a basis for explanation. "I wanna stay home". Colloquial and frequently heard.http://www.englishforums.com/English/StayHomeStayAtHome/bwgvp/post.htm#124685Thu, 26 Feb 2009 01:04:01 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:124685Eimai_Anglos3http://www.englishforums.com/English/StayHomeStayAtHome/bwgvp/post.htm#124685http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-124685.xml"I want to stay at home."
