I go home. "Home" is an adverb of place that modifies verb "go".

I go to my home. "Home" is a noun, so we use preposition "to"+ noun "home" to complete the meaning.

I am home. Some authors mention "home" in this sentence is a noun. (You can find in dictionary,too). But I think it is not correct. "Home" in "I am home" is a noun. How can we use an adverb "home" after a liking verb "BE"? Therefore, "home" must be a noun and in this special situation the preposition "At" is dropped. That is why we write " I am at my home." (home = noun) I come home. (home = adverb of place) I come to my home (home= noun) I come back to my home> (home = noun. To comeback to = phrasal verb)

Answer:

You don't need a preposition when you say “go home” but you do if you say “go to myhome”. This is because when you say “gohome”, home is not a noun, but an adverb (an “adverb of place”). Prepositions (“to”) don'tgo before adverbs.

Explanation:

Note that most verbs expressing direction require a preposition (e.g. "to") before the noun, but not when the noun is "home". When the noun is "home", you don't have to use the preposition. You can use a prepositionwith "home" (it's not incorrect), but this usage is less common: I'm going to home.
