In English, why do we say "go home" instead of "go to home"?
To understand why, is to know the difference between the two nouns — house and home.
A house is a physical building with an address one can go to. There is no misunderstanding where it is. Home is a state of mind — a feeling. One can live in a house for decades, but if there is no comfort or love there, it's not home.
Home is different for everyone and varying in context. It can be our house, town, state, country, or planet. It can be where one was born, primarily raised, where one's family is, where one enjoys working, a central location, "happy place" (frame of mind), or as the song goes, "wherever I hang my hat." Home is different for everyone and can change on a whim, because everyone has a different concept of home. Often when one is told to "Go home," it doesn't even mean to go to one's house, it’s just a directive to leave or leave alone.
If one were to put an article in front of "home" to try to pinpoint it, that would be a reference to a specific institution, such as, a mental health facility, orphanage, or retirement care facility. Few elderly parents would like to hear, "It's time to take Mom and Dad to a home."
In baseball, home plate is both a physical location and goal, which is often just called home for short. During the game you might hear someone say either, "throw to home" or "throw home," while you'll never hear someone say, "throw to 2nd (base) or "slide into 2nd," without a preposition. Though "run home" or "throw home," could just be carryover from its use outside of baseball.
Therefore, "home" can’t follow the same construct as other physical locations.
Checking grammar, spelling and punctuation is an important final step before handing in. It's good to leave time for final proofreading, because small mistakes can give a marker a bad impression. ... They don't find all mistakes - and sometimes they change words and punctuation that are in fact correct.
