home or at home?
I usually arrive at home late in the afternoon.
I usually arrive home late in the afternoon.
Which one is correct?

Question

Answer

"Arrive at" involves movement. You come from another place to your house. "I arrived at my house" is OK

"At home" means that you are in your house now. "I am at home"

Therefore there is a conflict between the two expressions so we remove the at. "I arrived home" :)
