The word 'house' is reffered to as a negative noun; it is better known to be a refuge instead of a living space. The word 'home' on the other hand, is used to describe a place where love, happiness and memories flourish; where the entire family lives. It is a grave error when we use 'house' in places like, "Please do keep visiting my house.

I hope this helps,

I cannot agree with the statement that the word 'house' is a negative noun.

Furthermore, it would not be a grave error to say: Please visit this house often- or - Please feel to continue to visit this house - (think what of a clergyman might say to a parishioner).

While 'home' can be used to describe a place "where love, happiness and memories flourish", it can also be use

Hi,

Here's the very basic idea.

A house is a structure, often occupied by a single family.

A home is the place where you live. It may be eg a house. Or eg an apartment. Or eg a cave.
