In Definite articles^x, Nouns^x

Hi, I think it is a common knowledge that some uncountable nouns can be changed to countable nouns (are susceptable to such transformations) if they are made into types. Does that mean if we could place the phrase "a type" and "a sort" before such a noun, then we would have a...

Thank you so much, but I asked the question because I believe I asked a similar question in the past and a guru have answered it that the indefinite article does go with a phrase similar to 'other activity' in the original example sentence. Normally, I think the word 'other' is...

Hi,I was wondering if you put words like "his" and "the" in front of a noun that is a variable noun, what then is the nature of the noun after having put those words. I know if you put the indefinite article 'a', then it becomes countable, but if we frame the noun with...

Hi,Please look at this and tell me if the indefinite article 'a' goes with the third and fourth underlined parts. Is there possible confusion? If yes, how would you resolve it in term of grammar and the sentence structure? Would you say ther article 'a' does not go with any other...

I can see no reason why the definite article should be used with youths. We know nothing about these youths and the reference is to no specific group of youths. If we use the before youths, logically it should be used with any plural noun in similar contexts: The cars were parked illegally in...

Hi AnonIn my opinion the best way to learn when to use the definite article with a proper noun is to memorize the most common cases in which the article is normally used. I posted a list of them in my younger days. You can find it here. If a proper noun does not belong to any of those groups, it...

Hi, Thank you so much again.Can anyone tell me why having the indefinite article 'a' is the right thing to do here? I don't think the italicized words are proper nouns, since among other reasons which I can't think of right now, they are not capitalized. They seem to be literal...
