文法跟讀 In-Tense Ep.037: 英文定冠詞 "the work/ the bed?" 工作/活動篇

Welcome to 15mins.today the home of English Shadowing. I'm your host Gavin and this is InTense Episode 37. Well guys we are continuing with our definite article “the,” and in particular when not to use “the.” So, in today's case we will be looking at places and locations. OK!

So, what I mean by a location is like your office or work. We do not put “the” in front of it usually, so “office” is a bit of an exception in this case, “I'm going to the office.” Because you only go to your work’s office, but in front of the word “work” we do not put it there, but here's the exception “office, the office.” Why? Because I work there at one place, it is specific. So remember that we say “the office” but not “the work,” and no “the” in front of “home.”

OK, let's look at our questions and we will see the examples, so let's get started!
