Is the following sentence correct?

Would you please rewrite every sentence of that paragraph in an easy understandable English?

I think it is not because we cannot quantify English by using an article. Right?

Hi,
this is difficult. I remember there were several thread about that, article + uncountable noun. Since it is difficult to find a rule, the best thing to do is always treat uncountable nouns as uncoutable. So, no articles.

In that case (your sentence), I'd say it's a short way to say:
Write every sentence in an easy and understandable (kind/style) of English.

That's the only explanation I could give Smile [:)]

You could possibly use 'an' since it is a particular type of English that you want, and especially if the paragraph is already written in a different type of English..

I would also add a comma. (Or the word 'and' -- as Kooyeen suggested.)
