Please check my sentences.

One day my friend's company asked him not to come to work beginning that day. From that day on he hasn't gone to work.

I've underlined nouns that appear more than once in those two sentences.

My friend got a call from the company he worked with asking him not to come to work beginning that day. From that day on he hasn't been working.

 

[teechar]

Try:
My friend got fired/sacked almost six months ago and has been out of work (ever) since then.
or
My friend lost his job almost six months ago and has been out of work (ever) since then.

 

[GoesStation]

My friend got a call from the company he worked with asking him not to come to work beginning that day. From that day on he hasn't been working.

Only a single word separates two instances of that day. I'm sure you can find a way to improve that.

I also underlined three variations of work. You can remove at least one.

Although there are still three variation of work​ in those sentences, they aren't terrible. Still, you can revise the third sentence to eliminate a repetition.

My friend got a call from the company he worked with asking him not to show up. He hasn't been home since then.

The second sentence doesn't make sense in the context.

Spend more time reading.

Sorry I wanted to write "He has been home since then."

 

[emsr2d2]

Are you sure? He really hasn't left the house since that happened? I thought you started off saying that he hadn't been back to work since his company basically fired him.

 

[Raymott]

He shouldn't be at home. He should be out looking for a job.

 

[tufguy]

He shouldn't be at home. He should be out looking for a job.

Is it correct to write "He has been home"?

 

[GoesStation]

Sorry I wanted to write "He has been home since then."

Is it correct to write "He has been home"?

The sentence is grammatically correct but logically unlikely.

 

[Raymott]

Is it correct to write "He has been home"?

Within a context, it might be correct to write that. I would expect that he has been home at some time since he lost his job.

 

[tufguy]

What does "At some time" mean here?

 

[emsr2d2]

"at some time" here means "at some unspecified point in time" or possibly "at least once".

 

[tufguy]

"at some time" here means "at some unspecified point in time" or possibly "at least once".

So it means he was home sometimes and sometimes he was out looking for a job. Right?

 

[Raymott]

No, no, no. "At some time" means Not[at no time]. It means "for a duration of greater than 0 seconds". If he has been at home at some time, he has not been absent at all times since he lost his job.

It simply means that he has been at home at a time (t1) since he left his job. That is, at a certain time t1, which occurred between t0 (when he lost his job) and t2 (now), he was at home.
Consider this: If you lost your job a week ago, do you think it likely that you would not have been at home at all since then?

He has been at home (since he lost his job):
At one time or another
For a total time greater than zero seconds.
For a total time greater than never.
For some (a positive amount of) time.

Yes, sometimes he was at home but not all the time. Did you mean this?
