3 at noon指“正午”，也叫midday。請注意本課中表示時間的不同短語:in the morning/ afternoon/ evening, at noon/night。

to work, 上班。

由動詞 go引導的短語課文中還有：go to school(上學)， go to bed(上牀睡覺)。請注意 work, school以及 bed之前不帶任何冠詞。

at home, 呆在家裏。

與 stay home在意思上相差無幾。前者中的 home是名詞，後者中的home是副詞。

the housework, 料理家務。

housework是不可數名詞。請比較：do the homework(做作業)。

night, 在夜裏。

如果説某日夜裏，則用介詞 on:

on the night of June 2 在6月2日的夜裏

語法 Grammar in use

every day/week/month/year 每日/周/月/年

in the morning/afternoon/evening 在上午/下午/晚上

at noon/night 在正午/夜裏

come----comes

arrive----arrives
