Hi there, I’ve been listening to your episodes for a long time and l love your team! May I ask a question about the expression in the study guide for this episode? At the bottom of page 11, Sung- Min said, …… You head on home and ….. What this “you head on home” means? I though home doesn’t need any preposition (on)…. Thank you in advance! Have a great day!
That’s a great question!! Head on home = go home. The verb “to head” means to travel or move in a certain direction. As you mentioned, we usually don’t use “on” with “home” but this is an exception. Please note it’s possible to just say “head home” also. For example, after finishing work you might say to a coworker, “I just want to hurry up and head home so I can relax.” Hope that helps!
Good luck with your new challenge, Kassy!
I wish you the best of luck with all of your future endeavors, Kassy!
