文法句型

take + object + home

take home + object

用法筆記

Object can come before or after 'home': 'take the dog home' or 'take home the dog'. With a pronoun object, the pronoun must come before 'home': 'take it home' (NOT 'take home it').

常見錯誤

❌She took home it.
✅She took it home.
💡When the object is a pronoun (it, him, her, them), it must go between 'take' and 'home'.
