There is an expression in the English language that perfectly describes someone who is very careful about how he will spend a small amount of money but isn’t careful at all with large amounts. The expression is “penny-wise and pound-foolish”. Are you the type of person who manages money in a similar way? My friend Jim is. Last year we went to London on holiday and he didn’t want to buy souvenirs from Gatwick Airport because he thought they were too expensive. However, he was more than happy to spend £115 an hour to go down the River Thames on a private boat!

(В английском языке есть выражение, которое прекрасно описывает человека, очень осторожного в расходах небольшого количества денег, но совсем не бережливого при крупных тратах. Это выражение — «бережливый на пенни, расточительный на фунты». Ты из тех, кто распоряжается деньгами подобным образом? Мой друг Джим именно такой. В прошлом году мы ездили в Лондон на отдых, и он не захотел покупать сувениры в аэропорту Гатвик, потому что счёл их слишком дорогими. Однако он охотно потратил 115 фунтов за час, чтобы прокатиться по Темзе на частной лодке!)

Перед названиями языков и городов, а также в сочетании on holiday и перед неисчисляемым money артикль не нужен. Устойчивое сочетание: an hour.

Ответы: 1) an; 2) the; 3) a; 4) The; 5) the; 6) без артикля; 7) a; 8) без артикля; 9) без артикля; 10) без артикля; 11) без артикля; 12) an; 13) the; 14) a.
