Questions & Answers about Мама дома, и папа тоже дома.
Why is there no word for "is" in this sentence?
In Russian, the verb "to be" is skipped in the present tense. Instead of saying "Mom is at home", you literally just say Мама дома (Mom at home).
I learned that "house" is дом. Why is it дома here?
While дом refers to the physical building, дома is a specific word used to mean "at home". You will always use дома when talking about being located at someone's own place.
Why is there a comma before и (and)?
In Russian, you must put a comma before и when it connects two complete mini-sentences. Because Мама дома and папа тоже дома are two independent thoughts with their own subjects, a comma separates them.
Does тоже (also/too) always go in the middle of the sentence?
In Russian, тоже usually comes right after the person or thing it applies to. Because you are pointing out that dad is the one who is also at home, тоже sits right after папа.
