當然可能說! 例如說我是個美國小學學生, 一般我搭那輛黃的公車. 這裡的"I take the bus to school"是"I take the school bus".

But one more thing! Actually "I take the bus to school" is a special sentence, it is a bit disturbing to demonstrate how the article works.

This is better:

Let's take a bus to London! - Let's go to London by bus!

Let's take the bus to London! - Let's take the bus which goes to London! - Let's take the London bus!

And yes, English must be harder for someone whose mother tongue is any of the Chinese languages... They are so different...


Thanks for the buses and the correction, Yunqing! First I wanted to use 公共汽车， but I don't think anyone would call a bus like this...
