Home Sweet Home (Part 1)

Today we will talk about a word that is a feeling as well as a place. That word is “home.”

Long ago in the 1700s, “home” was used as a verb, meaning “to be guided to a

destination.” So, when you home in on something you get closer to your target. For

example, you could say, “Police are homing in on the suspects."

But today, “home” is more often used as a noun. And it has a very emotional connection for

American English speakers. You can remember the meaning of the word by the expression

“home is where the heart is.” That expression means home is anywhere you feel love and

comfort. It is a place where you belong, and often a place that you consider your origin.

In 1940, Thomas Wolfe, an American novelist, wrote a book called “You Can’t Go Home

Again”. This title has worked its way into the English language. We use it to mean that the

ideas and feelings you had as a child often change when you are an adult.

Some people think that returning to a childhood place brings only joy. When these people

return to their childhood homes, they may say "Home Sweet Home!"
