Two sentences

Hello,

Is it possible to omit 'at' in the first sentence and 'to' in the second one?
Are you going to be at home on Sunday evening?
I am going to answer to her letter now.

Can I use reply instead of answer in the second sentence?
Thanks

"At" is entirely optional int he first sentence. Omitting it is more common. " If you say "reply to her letter," "to" is necessary.

If you say "answer her letter," do not use "to."
If you say "reply to her letter," "to" is necessary.

(Sorry English is so random!!)

'I am going to answer her letter now' (without 'to').
