Adverb versus Noun
Hi Everyone,
I would like to know the best way to explain the following two sentences:
1. I go to home.
2. I go to bed.
In sentence one, home is an adverb, but in sentence two, bed is not an adverb.
The word 'home' is also a noun, but why isn't it a noun in sentence one?
Can someone please tell me how to explain this?
Thanks,
CC
