Grammar Test 2
Answer questions 1 ‒ 6 based on the following passage.
There are some qualities of a sonnet which make it different from
other verse forms. Its definite restrictions make it a challenge to the

Why is 'to' not used before 'home'?
Question 001: Why is 'to' not used before 'home'?
Answer 001:
