school tasks done at home
Work that a teacher gives you to do at home after class.
用法パターン：
[someone] does [homework]
よくある間違い：
Many learners treat "homework" as a countable noun. We do not say *"homeworks"* or *"a homework"*. Instead, say "some homework", "a lot of homework", or "a piece of homework" / "a homework assignment". Learners also sometimes confuse "homework" with "housework"; "homework" is schoolwork, while "housework" is cleaning or other jobs in the home.
類義語
schoolwork (General word for work related to school; not always specifically done at home.)

assignment (Any task given to be done, not only at home and not only in school.)

preparation or research done beforehand
Work to find out information and prepare well before you decide or do something.
用法パターン：
[someone] does [their] homework on [something]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes think this meaning only refers to school tasks. In business or everyday talk, "do your homework" often means "prepare carefully" or "study the facts", not literal schoolwork. Also, in this sense we usually say "homework on" something (e.g. "homework on the issue"), not *"homework about"* in more formal writing.
類義語
research (Focuses more on systematically finding information; not limited to preparation for a single decision.)
|
preparation (Broad word for getting ready; does not always involve study or information gathering.)
対義語
guesswork (Deciding or acting without careful study, based mostly on guesses.)
