“I'm home” 和“I'm at home”的區別 | i am at home
剛剛有同學問我:“I’llbehome” 和 “I’llbeathome”以及 “I’mhome” 和 “I’mathome”,句子裡的"at"是否可有可無?!大部分的老師會跟你說:They’rethesame.Butthey’reNOT! 最大的差別在於聽話者的位置。Themostimportantdifferenceiswherethespeakerandlistenerarewhenthesentenceisbeingsaid. 以未來式為例:Ifthespeakerisgoingtobeathis/herhomeatacertaintimeinthefuture, weneedtouse“will”:“I’llbehome”/“I’llbeathome” 情景1:聽話者不在說話者的家裡,所以會用"at"。 Situation1:ListenerISNOTatthespeaker’shome:“I’llbeathome(at7)”(...

大部分的老師會跟你說: They’re the same.
But they’re NOT!最大的差別在於聽話者的位置。
The most important difference is where the speaker and listener are when the sentence is being said.
以未來式為例:
If the speaker is going to be at his/her home at a certain time in the future,
we need to use “will”: “I’ll be home” / “I’ll be at home”
情景1: 聽話者不在說話者的家裡,所以會用"at"。
Situation 1: Listener IS NOT at the speaker’s home: “I’ll be at home (at 7)” (我7點會在家裡)
情景2: 聽話者在說話者的家裡,所以不用"at"。
Situation 2: Listener IS at the speaker’s home: “I’ll be home (at 7)” (我7點會回來)
同理,現在式也是一樣:
If the speaker is at his/her home RIGHT NOW, we do not use “will”: “I’m home” / “I’m at home”
情景1: 聽話者不在說話者的家裡,所以會用"at"。
Situation 1: Listener IS NOT at the speaker’s home (speaking on the phone/Line/Facebook, etc):
