• school 과 the school 비교:

  Claudia is 10 years old. Every day she goes to school. She’s at school now. School begins at 9:00 and ends at 3:00.	Today Claudia’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.
  정관사 없이 사용하는 school 는 일반적인 의미의 학교를 뜻하고, 학생으로서 다니는 school 에 해당합니다. Claudia goes to school or is in school 등과 같은 표현에서 특정한 school 를 의미하지 않습니다.	Claudia 의 엄마가 학교를 방문하게 되면 학생으로서 가는 것이 아니기 때문에 She is not “in school,” she doesn’t “go to school” 입니다. Claudia 의 엄마가 딸의 선생님을 만나러 학교에 가는(방문하는) 경우는 she goes to the school (= Claudia’s school, 특정한 학교) 입니다. the 를 사용해서 특정한(specific) 학교를 나타냅니다.
