Zero-marking in English - Wikipedia

Zero-marking in English - Wikipedia: "The definite article is sometimes omitted before some words for specific institutions, such as prison, school, and (in standard non-American dialects) hospital.[5]
She is in hospital.
The criminal went to prison.
I'm going to school.
The article may also be omitted between a preposition and the word bed when describing activities typically associated with beds.[5]
He is lying in bed.
They went to bed."
