The pair of words that have the same denotation but have different expressive meanings is “house” and “home”. Home has a warm connotation because people tend to refer to their home as a safe and loving place, on the other hand, a house is just a place where someone lives. When someone refers to their house it is just a structure which they live in, whether it is their own property or somewhere they rent. When referring to ones home it can also be a physical structure but it includes so much more, it can be a person, their family, or maybe even their bed, somewhere where they feel safe, loved, and comfortable.
