Аналогично обедать, ужинать, пить чай соответствуют английским to have dinner (supper, tea). Во всех этих фразах breakfast, dinner, supper употребляются без артикля. (2.) Вопросительная и отрицательная формы этих глаголов образуются с помощью вспомогательных глаголов: do you have breakfast so early? вы завтракаете так рано?; we usually do not have breakfast before ten мы обычно не завтракаем раньше десяти. (3.) Если существительные breakfast, dinner и др. имеют описательное определение в этих сочетаниях, то они употребляются с неопределенным артиклем: he gave us a wonderful dinner он угостил нас прекрасным обедом; we had a light breakfast (a good lunch) у нас был легкий завтрак (хороший ленч). -
