Did you know that the word βhappy πβ is used three times more often than the word βsadπβ? It seems positivity shines through in our language! And, there was no word for the color orange until about 450 years ago. Plus, orange, purple, and silver are all words (and colors) that donβt rhyme1. Isnβt language fascinating? ππ
Is the sentence βBuffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffaloβa grammatically correct sentence in English?

π
±οΈ I Need to go home
Reason: In this phrase βGo homeβ, home is not a noun but an adverb, Specifically, it is an adverb of place, So you do not need a preposition like βtoβ prior to home.
We also donβt use βtoβ before these words when it is used an Adverb (abroad, anywhere, downstairs, here, home, in, nowhere, out, outside, somewhere, there, underground, upstairs)
βββββββββββββββββββ
π ±οΈ My birthday is in October
Reason: We use βonβ when indicating an specific date, like βmy birthday is on October 10β
Whereas you use βinβ if there is no specific date, for example: βMy Birthday is in Octoberβ
βββββββββββββββββββ
π ±οΈ I came to office on foot
Reason: We can say βby carβ, βby busβ, βby bikeβ, βby trainβ and βby flightβ. However, we cannot say βby walkβ, as it is the βfootβ which is being used to travel and not βwalkβ
