0 00Thank you Clive, i feel like i understand where to use "a" and where to use "the" but i see that there are many places where both "a" and "the" are omitted. Unfortunately i could not find forums that discuss exactly that. Could you perhaps explain this or give another link. Thanks again.02br

00It's a complex subject, and full of exceptions, so I really don't want to try to tackle the whole thing. Possibly someone else may.02br

00I don't know what your level of knowledge is, or your specific areas of concern. I'm happy to help you with any more specific questons or, preferably, examples.02br
