Hi tdol,

If there is no name specified for the school, then wouldn't it
need an "a"?

Somehow it sounds strange to say something like this:
Rob is a teller. He works at bank.
or
Rob, the teller works at bank.

[I typed the name (Rob) without thinking. Then I realized I should have
used another name, but I will leave it here for now. ;)
I wonder if this can be called a Freudian slip?]

What is the difference between 'bank' and 'school'?

Husband asking about son John: Where is John?
Wife: He's at school.

A: Where is Rob?
B: He's at the bank.
or
He's at work.

Thanks
