LEVEL B

ТHE ARTICLE: Level B

Plural and uncountable nouns with and without ‘the’

flowers/ the flowers, music/the music

A. We don’t use ‘the’ before a noun when we mean something in general: -I love flowers. (not ‘the flowers’)

(flowers = flowers in general, not a particular group of flowers)

-I’m afraid of dogs.

-Doctors are paid more than teachers.

We say most people/most dogs etc. (not ‘the most…’) Most people like summer. (not ‘the most people’)

B. We say ‘the’ when we mean something in particular:

-I like your garden. The flowers are beautiful. (not ‘Flowers are…’) (the flowers = the flowers in your garden, not flowers in general) -Children learn a lot from playing. (= children in general)

but: -We took the children to the zoo. (= a particular group of children)

-Salt is used to flavor food.

but: - Can you pass me the salt, please? (= the salt on the table)

C.The difference between something in general and something in particular is not always very clear:

-Do you like coffee? (=coffee in general)

-Do you like strong black coffee? (= not all coffee, but strong black coffee is still a general idea)

but: - Did you like the coffee we had with our meal last night? (= particular coffee)

Hospital/ the hospital, school/ the school

Study the example situation with hospital:

Jack had an accident a few days ago. He had to go to hospital.

He is still in hospital now.

Jill went to the hospital to visit him. She is at the hospital now.

Someone goes to hospital or is in hospital if he is ill or injured. We are not necessarily thinking of a particular hospital; we are thinking of the idea of hospital.

But Jill is not ill or injured. She is not ‘in hospital’. She went there as a visitor. She went to the particular hospital where Jack is.

Prison school university college church

We say a criminal goes to prison (not ‘to the prison’); a child goes to school; a student goes to university/college. We do not use ‘the’ when we are thinking of the idea of these places

We use ‘the’ in the following examples:

-Mr. Kelly went to the school to meet his daughter’s teacher. (He didn’t go there as a pupil.) -Excuse me, where the university, please? (a particular building)

Bed work home

We say ‘go to bed/be in bed’ etc. (not ‘the bed’): -It’s time to go to bed now.
