(Church is an institution but she goes to the building to help with the cleaning)
2)I saw them at Christmas.
3) More people live
in town than in the country.
4)Many people go trekking
in mountains like the Alps or the Himalayas.
5) I called an electrician in
order to have/get him to repair the plug in my bedroom

Sorry, miss-o, I object.
1) She goes to church (zero article with words school, prison, hospital, university, church when we are thinking of the general idea of these places and what they are used for) every Sunday and also goes to the church (not for a religious service) every Friday to help with the cleaning.
3) More people live in town than in the country
4) I am not sure with this |

I feel most grateful for your comments.
Pupils are so imaginative that sometimes I think that natives would accept what they invent and I don �t want to be too perfectionist... (if I make myself understood).
This forum is so useful... This community is great and I am addicted to this site for so many reasons. I hope it never ends!
Hugs
