My shoes の使い方

Lawrence_Howellの回答

回答No.1

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。

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.
