some grammatical doubts
Reading on my grammar book i've learnt that with beverages like water,wine, ecc i mustn't use the article "the".
Ex: L'acqua del mare...
Sea Water...
But if i want to say:
L'acqua è fredda!
How can i write it down?
The water is cold; or: Water is cold?
The second doubt is related to some words that never want the article if the subject of the sentence is using this places for their main function.
for example: (bed, church, work, ecc)
Now, my question is:
If i want write: Luisa lavora come infermiera all'ospedale
which of theese is the correct form?
Luisa is a nurse in the hospital
Luisa is a nurse in hospital

You would say: "Water is wet". This is a fact. "Seawater is salty." Another fact. ... Water is not (generally) cold (or hot). Therefore, if you have experienced some water that IS cold, and you are commenting on that specific water (the water in the Arctic Ocean), you would say: "The water is cold!". If your bath water is too hot: "The water is too hot!".
In the USA we say: "Luisa is a nurse in the hospital" but,
In the UK they say: "Luisa is a nurse in hospital".
