功课的英语是 "homework"，读作 [ˈhōmˌwərk]。

Homework 源自两个英文单词："home" 和 "work"。"Home" 指的是家庭，"work" 指的是工作或任务。所以，homework 就指的是家庭作业或家庭任务。

下面是一些例句：

I have a lot of homework to do tonight. (我今晚有很多功课要做。)
My teacher gave me too much homework over the weekend. (我的老师在周末给了我太多的功课。)
I don't have any homework today. (今天我没有功课。)
I finished all my homework before dinner. (我在晚餐前完成了所有的功课。)
