Заклинило на простом предложении. Он работает в школе. He works at school?
Заранее спасибо

Даже здесь цензура не дремала! :)))

Ну это for whom how, как говорится))) С такими речами можно далеко зайти, товарищи)
Вы бы лучше послушали, что Nina79 говорит. Ну и грамматику (пере?)читали на досуге .)

AnneThin - и что, граматика англ.языка не допускает выражения to work at school?

Почему надо слушать кого-то в данном случае, если есть разные конкрентые варианты употребления?

американцы не со всем согласятся. :-)

at the university - обычная для них форма.

Но все-таки совсем не учитывать американцев как-то нехорошо. :-)
Как-никак, на приведенную мной фразу 202 миллиона ссылок в гугле, и такую цифру не сможет проигнорировать даже товарищ V. :-)
И студент, не зная, что это нормальный узус, может впасть в недоумение.

The point is, you need an article or a pronoun here. You need some kind of "quantifying" moment to make this grammatically correct.

nephew
no article is needed to say that you are "going to school"
BUT you always use an article when you say where someone works. be careful you know what rule you are looking at :)

The nouns school, college, hospital, prison, jail, camp,
church, court, bed, table and occasionally market are used without
any article when, as part of set phrases, they lose their concrete
meaning and express the purpose which the objects denoted by these
nouns serve. Thus hospital comes to denote treatment, prison —
punishment, school — studies, bed — sleep, etc. Compare the fol-
lowing examples:
e.g. After lunch Dr Reily went off to the hospital.
"How long were you in hospital with that wound?" she asked.
They had a hospital in the town during the war.
Madame Duclerk sat at the table darning socks.
I asked her to tell me who all the people at table were.
In the cafe we had a table to ourselves, but those around us
were soon filled.
The road to the prison was blocked by policemen.
He would be sent to prison if he were caught.
Perhaps he was in a German prison.
I softly drew the chair to the bed and sat down.
He went to bed early, but lay awake for a long time.
I found a bed made up for me, and placed the candles on the
old-fashioned chest of drawers.

you work AT a place. It's a rule and that's all there is to it people

that's exactly why i told them to pay attention to what rule they need in which situations. :)
