difference between "i am home", "i am in home", and "i am at home"
Difference between 'I am home' and 'I am at home'
- Yes, there is marginal difference. The preposition ‘at’ indicates that the noun ‘home’ that follows it, establishes a point in relation to which another object ‘I’ is positioned.
So: “I am at home” always means that I am positioned or staying at home, and this is normally used.
Where as the term “I am home” can be used to mean; I am safe after some incident. Look at the following sentences:
My friend had a surgery for removal of a tumor. I am happy to hear that he is home and doing well.

Personal/private
("I'd like to know what she's like in her personal/private life."
Is there a difference between "personal" and "private" in this particular example?)
- The two words are basically the same. There is perhaps only a slight shade of difference, in my opinion.
Private life could be talking about aspects of her life that very few or no one else knows about. A person's private life would include thoughts, habits, and activities that almost no one else knows about.
Personal life could be something that many more people would be aware of. This is not so restrictive, I think. A person's personal life might include more public aspects of their life: where they live, where they go out to eat, hobbies, what general or professional organizations they are active in, etc.
