My shoes の使い方
いつもお世話になります。 英字新聞のコラムで I went shopping to buy my shoes at the department store. の「my shoes」はおかしいとありました。 何故なら、私の（所有する）靴が何故デパートにあるのか？ ということです。 それでは、to buy shoes I wear とか、to buy shoes for me とかにするのでしょうか？ なお、この場合もa pair of shoes とすべきですか？ それとも、会話的には a shoes でも可でしょうか？ ｏｒ the shoes I wear とthe が必要？

こんにちは。 「to buy shoes I wear とか、to buy shoes for me とかにするのでしょうか？」 × I went shopping to buy shoes I wear. → ○ I went shopping to buy the shoes I am wearing. × I went shopping to buy shoes for me. → ○ I went shopping to buy shoes for myself. 「この場合もa pair of shoes とすべきですか？」 一足だったら、それで良いですよ。 I went to buy a pair of shoes (for myself). 「それとも、会話的には a shoes でも可でしょうか？」 これはアウト。正しくは a pair of shoes または shoes、です。 ご参考までに。
お礼
適切な回答ありがとうございます。 日本人から言うと、ひとつなのに英語では複数形の glasses / shoes / pants などの扱いには 苦労しています。 今後ともよろしくお願いします。

- downtownの使い方
文法の教科書に Q:Where did you buy the shoes ? A:At a department store downtown. という文章がありました。downtownって場所=名詞ですよね。ということは前置詞のin がついて in downtownとなるものではないのでしょうか？ もし前置詞をつけてはいけないのだとしたら、「ダウンタウンに買い物に行こう」という文も Let's go to downtown for shopping. ではダメで、 Let's go downtown for shopping.と言わなくてはいけないのですか。 用法が分かりません。お教えいただけると助かります。宜しくお願い致します。

比較的簡単な英文のおかしいところがあればなおしてください。よろしくおねがいします。 The first day my husband and I were in Tokyo. We went to a department store and did a lot of shopping. After shopping we got on a taxi in front of the department store to return to the hotel where we stayed. After a while we arrived at the hotel. My husband paid the taxi fare to a driver and we got out of the taxi. We came back to our hotel room. A few minutes later I found my purse was nowhere in our room. But I immediately rememberd having left my purse behind in the taxi. What a terrible thing it was! I wondered if I should try to call a taxi company but did'nt know which one we had used. I was very confused and at a loss what I should do. Just then the phone in our room rang. It was a call from the clerk at the front desk. He said the taxi driver had just come at the front desk to deliver my purse to me. I was very happy to hear that. I went to the front desk right away and received my purse from the driver with the contents intact. I thanked him from the bottom of my heart, shaking hands with him.

いつも適切な回答ありがとうございます。 日本語にはない英語の単数/複数、冠詞の使い方は なかなか理解が難しいですね。 特に日本語的にはひとつなのに、shoes/glasses/pants などいつもまごつきます。 今後ともよろしく。
