Question

初二英语题

Have you received _____of his coming?
A.a word B.words C.the word D.word
注：这里word是消息的意思，不可数，所以A、B都可以排除，答案是D可是我觉得这里的消息是特指“他回来”的消息，应该要定冠词the呀？
为什么选D

Answer 1

学习方法错误。

****************************
记住：语法是从语言中归纳出来的，是用来解释语言现象的。

所以，碰到这样的问题，不要根据现有的语法规则来死抠，要从语言案例中找其他类似的表达。也就是说，要看看老外究竟是怎么用word这个单词的。他们怎么用，我们就怎么用，这就是最简单，但是最正确的语言学习方法！
*****************************

给你几个word类似的句子，多读几遍：

3. 消息,信息;音讯;谣言;传说[U] [(+of)][+that]
I have had no word from him since he left. 他走了以后我没有得到他的信息。
I have received word of his coming. 我得到了他的消息。
I just got word that he is not coming this evening. 我刚听说他今晚不来了。
Word came that another irrigation station would son be ready in our commune.
据说我们公社不久将有另一座灌溉站了。
He sent word to us that he would not be able to come. 他带信来,说他来不了。
Word came that I was wanted at the office.

Answer 2
