Feebs, are the following sentences correct? Let's see my understanding of the prepositions:

1) I go to class everyday.
2) My friend is at class now.
3) My friend is in the class now.
4) I'm at home, please call my home number.
5) I'm in my home/I'm in the home
6)I'm in my parent's house/I'm in my parent's home

They all look fine to me.

Two minor points to make - if you use "the home" in the sentence "I'm in the home", it implies that you are in an orphanage or similar organisation [ The Home for Indigent Children]. We will generally use an identifier - my home, your home, my parents' home.
Also, parent's = one parent; parents' = both parents.

1) I go to class everyday.
I go to class every day.

Have you forgotten? The word 'everyday' is an adjective: everyday duties, everyday life.
