at school/ at a school
Please, which is correct?
1. Leo is a teacher, he works at school. 2. Leo is a teacher, he works at a school. Thank you.
Both could be correct depending on the context. If I had to go with one or the other I would however go with #2 though.
No. Either sentence is a possibility.
1. Leo is a teacher. He does work at his school. 2. Leo is a teacher. He has a job at a school.
" Leo is a teacher. He works at school." implies "Leo works at my school"
"Leo is a teacher. He works at a school." implies "Leo works at a school but I don't necessarily know where" It's the difference between "a school" and "the school". With no context #2 would probably be more correct but it's splitting hairs....
at school: in the school
at a school: in one of many schools. Big difference.
OK,OK, let's take some more context.
An Irish lady from Wexford is on a holiday in Turkey. She is retired. She tells a new acquaintance of hers about her son who lives in Wexford, too. Her acquaintance is from Edinburgh. |
