If I put my foot in a shoe, it would be correct to say that the shoe “houses” my foot. The word “house” is a general word for any structure which gives shelter to someone or something.<\/p>\nIf I put my foot in a shoe, it would be correct to say that the shoe “houses” my foot. The word “house” is a general word for any structure which gives shelter to someone or something.<\/p>\n
We could say that a garage houses a car, or that a kennel is\u00a0 a dog’s house. Almost everyone lives in some sort of house. There are millions of houses all across the country!<\/p>\n
Therefore, when writing, try to be as specific as possible when mentioning houses. Specific words make your writing sharper and clearer. For example, instead of saying “the man built a house,” say “the man built a cottage,” or “the man built a mansion.” The words “cottage” and “mansion” are types of houses, but they paint a clearer, sharper and more accurate picture than the general word “house.”<\/p>\n
Here are some examples of the types of houses and their meanings:<\/p>\n
Cottage – a small, one-story house.<\/p>\n
Hut – a small shelter with no amenities.<\/p>\n
Mansion – a very large and luxurious house.<\/p>\n
Igloo – a house made of snow by the Eskimos.<\/p>\n
Castle – a large, luxurious mansion, fortified against attacks, usually occupied by members of the English Nobility.<\/p>\n
Palace – A house in which a king, queen and their family lives.<\/p>\n
Shack – a small house put together using improvised material.<\/p>\n
Tent – a temporary or moveable shelter made of plastic, cloth or other lightweight material.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
