Function or Place 1
 Grammar - information and contents
Certain words denoting places
in English can be used with or without the definite article following a
preposition. If the article is absent the word indicates the function of the
place rather than just the place itself when the article is present, e.g.: He's at college = He's
studying. He's at the college = He's at
the college building (probably doing something else). For each gap choose one of the
prepositions below and one of the place words. Put them in with or without
the definite article depending on the meaning. at, on, in, to - church, college, court (2), home, hospital, prison, school, town,
university
