"I came back home." vs "I came back to home."

The correct construction is "I came back home."

Last Updated: December 10, 2017

I came back home.

This is correct

This is a simple way to say that you returned to your home.

Some examples from our editors:

  • I came back home so I didn't have to pay for lunch.
  • My date stood me up, so I came back home.
  • I didn't have anything else to do, so I came back home.

Some alternatives from our editors:

  • I came back to my home
  • I returned home
  • I returned to my home

I came back to home.

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

In English, you don't use a preposition ("to") right before the word "home"; you just say, "I came back home." However, you do have to use the preposition "to" if you say something like, "I came back to my home" or "I went back to her house" or even "I returned to the restaurant."
