Work and job

Work can be a noun or a verb,
so you can say
I work at a job and I have a job of work
but it is wrong to say I job at a work and I have a work of job..

I have heard people stating:

it is my work to do this.

and

it is my job to do this.

I always use the latter though.

Yes you are right. The latter works better It does a better job

A job can be synonimous with task, but job isn't.
A person works on a job.
Work is synonimous with labor, but job isn't.
The word work can resemble job when used in a certain matter.
Line of work=(more or less) job or career.

Someone can explain me the means of the word task and homework, What is the difference between them?

[irmamar]

So, I could say

I leave my work at...
I'm going to leave my job because I've been offerred another one.

Crotalito, "task" means "una tarea", I think:

I have to do some tasks in my job - Tengo que hacer varias tareas en mi trabajo.

"homework" means "deberes o tareas caseras":

I still have to do my homework (iron, washing, etc.)

Please, correct me if I'm wrong

Why then "homework" instead of "homejob", since homework consists of several tasks ?

Sí, tienes el concepto. Pero hay palabras habituales que usamos. Por
ejemplo: las cosas que tiene que hacer en la casa(planchar, limpiar, cocinar) son chores o household chores.

Homework es el trabajo que los estudiantes tienen que hacer en su casa
y pesentar al profesor el próximo día.

Un homejob es un tipo de trabajo en que los quehaceres se hace en la casa en ves de una oficina.

Un task es un quehacer o tarea más dificíl.

Work (sustantivo o verbo) Task (susantivivo) Toil (verbo) son
palabras relacionadas y son partes integrales de un job.

Is chorus AmE? In wordreference there's "household" as "trabajo de la casa"

Esa palabra significa coro. Chores significa quehacer hogareño

Well, it was a typo... Or maybe my mind betrayed to me (were the saucepan singing a song at the kitchen? )
