Dat Should I Sent My Result to Every School

Определенный артикль the 2: school / the school и др.

A

Сравните school и the school:

Alison is ten years old. Every day she goes to school. She's at school now. School begins at 9 and finishes at 3.

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.

Мы говорим, что ребенок goes to school (ходит в школу) или is at school (в школе, как ученик). Мы не обязательно думаем о какой-то конкретной школе. Мы думаем о школе как об общей идее (учиться).

Мама Элисон – не ученица. Она не 'at school', она не 'go to school'. Если она хочет увидеть учительницу Элисон, она goes to the school (= школу Элисон, конкретное здание).

B

Мы используем prison, hospital, university, college и church таким же образом. Мы не используем the, когда думаем об общей идее этих мест и для чего они предназначены. Сравните:

◇ Ken's brother is in prison for robbery. (Он заключенный. Мы не думаем о конкретной тюрьме.)

◇ Ken went to the prison to visit his brother. (Он пошел как посетитель, а не как заключенный.)

◇ Joe had an accident last week. He was taken to hospital. He's still in hospital now. (как пациент)

◇ Jane has gone to the hospital to visit Joe. She's at the hospital now. (как посетитель)

◇ When I leave school, I want to go to university/college.

◇ Excuse me, where is the university, please? (= здания университета)

◇ Sally's father goes to church every Sunday. (за церковной службой)

◇ Some workmen went to the church to repair the roof. (не за церковной службой)

С большинством других мест, вам необходимо использовать определенный артикль the. Например, the cinema, the bank (см. уроки 72C и 73D).
