Books

Hi there,


I would like to confirm that I learned this correctly during my English class.


Let's say I am helping someone who wants me to fetch some magazines in a place where there are books. I can't find any magazines. I tell the person:

#1 "All I see is books!"

#2 "All I see is the books!"


If I understood my teacher correctly:

either is correct, but used to get the books nearer or further to the speaker.

#1 means I see books in front of me (What do I see? I see books)

#2 means I see the books that you know and expect to be there (What do I see? The books that you know are there)


Did I understand that correctly?
