Jack had an accident a few days ago. he had to go to hospital now.
Noor went to the hospital now. She is in the hospitalto 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
ButNooris not ill or injured She is not “in hospital” She went there as a visitor We say “Noor went to the hospital/ Noor is at the hospital” Because we mean a particular hospital, or the one Where jack is .
*Bed – Work – Home We say: “go tobed”/”be in bed” (not ’the bed’) It’s time to go to bed now. – Is Tom still in bed? ‘Go to work/be at work/start work/finish work’ ( not ‘the work’) Why isn’t Ann at work today? – what time do you finish work?
*Bed – Work – Home ‘Go home/be at home/come home/stay at home’ (not ‘ the home’) Lets go home. – Will you be at home tomorrow? There is no preposition with go/get/arrive home. (not ‘to home’).
