Alison is ten years old. Every day she goes to school. She´s at school now. School begins at 9 and finishes at 3. Hovoríme, že žiak chodí do školy alebo je v škole (goes to school/is at school). Nemyslíme konkrétnu školu, ale hovoríme o škole vo všeobecnosti. |
Today Alison´s mother wants to speak to her daughter´s teacher. So she has gone to the school to see her. She´s at the school now. Jej mama nie je žiak, nie je v škole (at school) a ani nechodí do školy (goes to school). Keď chce hovoriť s učiteľkou ide do školy (to the school) ako do konkrétnej budovy. |
Takto isto používame aj slová prison, hospital, university, college a church. Nepoužívame určitý člen the pokiaľ o týchto budovách hovoríme vo všeobecnosti a na čo sa používajú.
