This paper discusses the countness of nouns. For L2 (second language) learners, in making the choice of a, the or the zero article, Ø, a question to ask is, 'Is this a count noun?' For a count noun, the choice of articles is a/the (+ N) or Ø/the (+ Ns); for a non-count noun, the choice is Ø/the (+ N). |
