    As for 'hjem' or 'hjemme', my Norwegian teacher always said: "Fra A til B, uten 'e'." ;-)

        https://www.duolingo.com/comment/8751085 > the form without the 'e' is used for when movement towards the home is being described e.g. 'Jeg går hjem' and the form with the 'e' is used to describe position relative to the home e.g. 'Jeg er hjemme'.

        https://www.duolingo.com/comment/10025342 > Hjem is used with verbs of motion.

          Why is "Jeg drar rett hjem" not accepted?

            Because it's specifically walking so it's går

                  hjem = home (motion towards) ; huset = the house

                    I love how much this sentence sounds like "I'm going right home" in English.
