    Question

    The following sentence has been divided into four segments. Select the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    I am going / to home / soon after the / programme gets over.

    A.

    soon after the

    B.

    to home

    C.

    I am going

    D.

    programme gets over

    Correct option is B

    Option (b) contains an error.
    Explanation: The word “home” does not require a preposition like “to” when used after verbs of movement.
    Correct sentence: I am going home soon after the programme gets over.
    Grammatical rule used:
    “Home” acts as an adverb of place and should not be preceded by “to” in expressions like “go home”, “come home”.
    Example: She came home late last night. (Not “to home”)
    Information Booster: Use “to” only when “home” is used as a noun with an article or adjective, e.g., “to a new home”.
