the same holds true for at home (BrE) vs home (AmE). That's why we watch 'Home Alone', and hear 'Are you home?' in Aremican films.

In 00:50 there is exactly like that.

That's a different case - no preposition with 'go/run to home' on both sides of the pond ("Yankee, go home!"):

You can run to Alaska
Run to L.A
Run home to mama

The case in question is about 'be (at) home':

Run home the mama?
Anyway, the point is taken.

diggerzz пишет: ↑02 ноя 2019, 20:14 Run home the mama?

It's "run hoMe to Mama".

Yety пишет: ↑02 ноя 2019, 20:18 It's "run hoMe to Mama".

Yeah, you are right.
I'm not good at listening. Not good at all.

diggerzz пишет: ↑02 ноя 2019, 20:31not good

What you heard is right there. It just didn't fit the grammatical context, so it had to be reintepreted according to the relaxed speech reductions.=)
Speaking of which...

Yety пишет: ↑02 ноя 2019, 21:27 It just didn't fit the grammatical context

I thought that "to" is obvious so it can be omitted for the sake of the rhythm, and THE mama was the point.
It's proved to be wrong.
As I tell to my wife every now and then "don't think, just listen to".
It seems to be a good piece of advice to myself either.

What did you bring that book I don’t like to be read to out of up for?

LOL! What comes to mind is jack-in-the-box (a toy) and the idiom "the (other) shoe dropped" )))
Chaika, и какое будет ваше задание/пояснение к этому предложению?
Кстати, а к кому ваш коммент обращен/к чему относится?
With all due respect, но похоже кнопки "обратиться по никнейму" и "добавить цитату" вы принципиально игнорируете. Всегда. Нет? Then I appologize :-)

Oh, so 'bring up' was literally 'bring upstairs'. When I read the sentence, I decided it was 'bring sth up in a conversation' :)

Да не уж-то я бы поленился прогуглить ))) Как и "James while John had had had...." Такое не пропускаю.

Yety, дружище, да где мне-то было к этой классике приобщаться?
Вот бы кто, к ней с юности причастный, ветку особую открыл, таких, как я, недоучек к высокому приобщать...
А так, только с миру по нитке собирать приходится, мало-помалу... Теперь-вот да, знаю... что ничего не знаю...

Juliemiracle пишет: ↑04 июл 2022, 20:13 'bring up' was literally 'bring upstairs'

Yep, and it is rather an adverb than a preposition in either case.
