"Are you home yet?" vs "Did you reach home yet?"

"Did you reach home yet?" will be understood by a native English speaker. However, it will sound somewhat unnatural.
"Are you home yet?" is one natural-sounding alternative.

Last Updated: March 20, 2019

Are you home yet?

This is correct

"Are you home yet?" is used to ask if someone has arrived at home.

ExpertExplanation provided by a TextRanch English expert


Some examples from our editors:

  • Are you home yet? I want to make sure you're safe.
  • Are you home yet? If you are, please turn on the dishwasher.
  • Are you home yet? I need you to check if we have any milk.

Some alternatives from our editors:

  • Did you get home yet?
  • Have you gotten home yet? (North American)

Did you reach home yet?

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

If you ask "Have you reached home yet?" native speakers will understand the question, but it will sound awkward to them.

"Did you get home yet?" sounds natural.

North American English speakers might also use "Have you gotten home yet?"
