&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hi,&lt;br&gt;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.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In that case (your sentence), I'd say it's a short way to say:&lt;br&gt;Write every sentence in an easy and understandable &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;(kind/style)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; of English.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That's the only explanation I could give &lt;img src="/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile [:)]" /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Would you please rewrite every sentence of that paragraph in an easy...</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/WouldRewriteSentenceParagraphEasy/vwrnb/post.htm</link><pubDate>Fri, 01 Jun 2007 15:09:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:373610</guid><dc:creator>Jackson6612</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/WouldRewriteSentenceParagraphEasy/vwrnb/post.htm</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-373610.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;Is the following sentence correct?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000080&gt;Would you please rewrite every sentence of that paragraph in&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;an&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;FONT color=#000080&gt;easy understandable English?&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I think it is not because we cannot quantify English by using an article. &lt;STRONG&gt;Right?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
