to my home

Good evening.

We don't usually use the preposition 'to' before the word 'home'.

What about the following sentence?

'Do you want to come to my home?'

Is it acceptable?

Is it enough to have a possessive adjective between 'to' and 'home' to make the sentence correct?

Thank you

It is correct as it is. It would be incorrect to use 'to'.

Thank you for your reply.

So:

- it is correct to say 'Do you want to come to my home';

- we don't normally use 'to' before 'home'.

Is that true?

Thank you.

slocawber- we don't normally use 'to' before 'home'.Is that true?
Yes, when we are speaking about ourselves going to our own house, not someone else coming to our home.

I'm going home. (Not: I'm going to home.)
We're going home. (Not: We're going to home.)

Compare:
Please (you) come to our home. You can stay with us. Th
