0 Hi Jackson02br
02br
001. No, your first sentence needs the past tense in both halves of sentence.02br
002. You should omit the word 'to' in sentence 2:02br

02br
00If you took a taxi somewhere other than 'home', then you could use 'to':02br

0Half right.02br
02br
00... we took a taxi home.02br
02br
00Idiomatically, although you may take a taxi TO the library, or TO the museum, when you go home, you just go home, without the to.02br

00Sorry - I paused in mid-reply and you all got in there ahead of me! 0-
