2. church也可表示“礼拜,礼拜仪式”,其前通常不加冠词the,是不可数名词。
3. church也可表示与政权相对而言的“教权”。
4. church表示“教会,教派”时，首字母常大写。
5. church前加定冠词the，是指教堂建筑物本身或教会的神职工作或服务工作,即“神职”“牧师的职位”。
6. church在用于“去教堂做礼拜〔结婚〕”“在教堂做礼拜”时,是抽象名词,其前不加冠词; 表示“去教堂办事”时，则须加冠词。

go to church, go to the church

前者church前无冠词,是不可数名词,可指去教堂做礼拜或结婚；如另有目的,则需用后者,这时church是可数名词,表示建筑物。试比较:

He goes to church every Sunday.

他每周日去教堂做礼拜。

He went to the church to look for his wife.

他去教堂找他老婆。

church，cathedral

这两个名词均可表示“教堂”之意。

cathedral指一个教区内最大的教堂，即主教堂或总教堂，通常是装饰精良，宏伟肃穆。
