which of these is correct? He is at the university or he is at university. She is at the school or she is at school, can you tell me the reasons for your answers?They are all correct. He is at the University = Means that he is at that location.
He is at University = Means he is a student who studies at university level.
The same applies to the girl (she) She is at the school = In the building (location)
She is at school = Because she is a student ( for a period of time ). Later she may become a student with the University.
how do you call a school teacher? teacher or mister or both
In the UK a teacher is usually 'Addressed' (called) Sir, Miss or Mrs. However, more frequently and less formally these days. Their title Mr, Miss, Mrs, followed by their surname e.g. Mr Smith. Miss White. Mrs Jones.
Thanks.
Sorry: I should explain Mister is usually written as 'Mr' but spoken as 'Mister'.
Mrs is written this way but spoken as 'Missus'

In the US
he is at the university, but not he is at university
but he is at/in college would work as a general status, a particular college would be at the college
same for school.
in the US we would not say "Teacher Jones" we would say Miss Jones or Mister Jones.
