Hi! Is the use of out/ outside/ in/ inside/ outdoors/ indoors OK in the following situations?
1)-John is in the garden. (He is outside.)
-Joe is in the house (or inside the house)
-John asks Joe to join him: Why don't you come outside? It's a lovely day!
2) -John and Joe are both inside. John wants to play in the garden, so he tells Joe: "Let's go outside!"
-Joe replies: "It's very cold outside!"
3)-John and Joe are playing outside. Joe says:"It's getting cold!Let's go back in (or inside)."
4)-John wants to go to the local pub.He asks Joe: "How about going out tonight?"
-Joe replies:"Where would you like to go?"
-John answers: "To the local pub".
-Joe:"I don't feel like going out tonight. I'd rather stay in.
5)-John is not at home.He has gone to the cinema.
-When he returns home,Joe asks him: "Where have you been?"
-John vaguely answers: "Out"
Apparently, John enjoys staying/ going outdoors, whereas Joe likes staying/ going indoors.;-)About the word home:
go/come/return/leave/ arrive/ get home (without to), but can I say both"be/ stay at home" and "be/ stay home"?
Moreover, is it possible to say : "Come to my home","Come to my place", "Come to mine" and "I'm staying at John's (place/ home) tonight" and "You can stay at mine if you want."?
