English Synonyms and Antonyms3.5 / 2 votes

  1. house

    Abode, dwelling, and habitation are used with little difference of meaning to denote the place where one habitually lives; abode and habitation belong to the poetic or elevated style. Even dwelling is not used in familiar speech; a person says "my house," "my home," or more formally "my residence." Home, from the Anglo-Saxon, denoting originally a dwelling, came to mean an endeared dwelling as the scene of domestic love and happy and cherished family life, a sense to which there is an increasing tendency to restrict the word — desirably so, since we have other words to denote the mere dwelling-place; we say "The wretched tenement could not be called home," or "The humble cabin was dear to him as the home of his childhood."

    Home's not merely four square walls,
    Tho with pictures hung and gilded;
    Home is where affection calls —
    Where its shrine the heart has builded.

    Thus the word comes to signify any place of rest and peace, and especially heaven, as the soul's peaceful and eternal dwelling-place.

    Synonyms:
    abode, domicil, dwelling, fireside, habitation, hearth, hearthstone, home, ingleside, residence

How to use house in a sentence?

  1. Pat Davis:

    The whole thing has been a nightmare. I just want my daughter to come home. And to come home alive, she would come home after work, eat supper at my house, and pick up her dog. She'd walk her dog and that was her routine every day.

  2. Alek Skarlatos:

    I hope that people are sick of the inflation. I think they're sick of being the poorest congressional district in the state. I think they're sick of the rising crime rate, rising groceries and everything, it just seems like this country is really at a turning point. And if we can't win in an open seat in this kind of a year in Oregon, it just seems like we're hopeless. So I certainly hope that we can take back the House and win a lot of these competitive seats in a year like this.

  3. Elijah Cummings:

    In a way he would be pleased to have seen the first African-American elected president, to have seen many doors opened for people like me and others who now have opportunities that would not have had them back then, but at the same time, when we see a guy like Bannon, who is, as far as I'm concerned, a white supremacist-type person, sitting in the White House, sitting in the White House, and I'm paying his salary, I think he would be very disappointed.

  4. Andy Sabin:

    Ted Cruz has been to my house with his wife, i said, 'some time in the next four or five cycles you will be president but you’ve got to come to the center.'.

  5. Democratic Representative Sander Levin:

    This House has already taken action to provide for the three provisions included in this bill for this year’s tax returns as part of the broad extender bill that passed last week.
