以下短语中名词前不加冠词：

2、I had a very good seat.
seat一般指戏院、汽车等配置的固定座位，也可以抽象地表示“座位”或“位子”等概念。

① enjoy n. 喜欢,从当中得到一种享受(后面不能跟人I enjoy the music. /the dinner/film/program/game
② enjoy oneself/代词 玩的开心

③ enjoy 动名词Jane doesn’t enjoy swimming.
4、I got very angry.
get在这里有“逐渐变得”的含义，接近become，是个表示过程的动词，表示状态的变化。而I was very angry则仅表示当时的状态是生气，并不暗示过程。
I am/was angry. 是一个事实、I got angry. 强调变化过程It is hot.、It got hot.
got取代be动词，got是半系动词,可直接加形容词。

美音:肯定I can [] 否定,I can't[],它的/t/是吞进去的, 在读音上很难区别, 只能根据上下文来定
hear a word of sb. (a word 等于一句话)
He didn't say a word.
May I speak to Jim?/May I have a word with Jim?
8、It's none of your business.
one’s business 指某人(所关心的或份内)的事
