Mention the nouns, where
you cant use A/ an/
the ?
• Abstract nouns don’t take A/ An. Thouse nouns that are not
countable cannot take a / an. Nouns that don't show quantity are
normally used without a or an. The article the, however, may be
used with nouns that don't show quantity. Don’t use articles with
commodities.
