  课文详注Further notes on the text
  1.go to work, 上班。
  由动词 go引导的短语课文中还有:go to school(上学), go to bed(上床睡觉)。请注意 work, school以及 bed之前不带任何冠词。

  2.stay at home, 呆在家里。
  与 stay home在意思上相差无几。前者中的 home是名词,后者中的home是副词。

  3.do the housework, 料理家务。
  housework是不可数名词。请比较:do the homework(做作业)。

  4.at night, 在夜里。
  如果说某日夜里,则用介词 on:
  on the night of June 2      在6月2日的夜里

  (请参见第47-48课_A cup of coffee语法部分。)

  arrive----arrives
  (2)以 -sh, -ch, -o 以及 -s结尾的动词加 -es,如:
  wash----washes
  go----goes
  watch----watches
