Grammar

a great knowledge or just great knowledge

0Hi,02br
02br
00I am confused as to the usage of the two phrases, "01i00a great knowledge02i00" and "01i00great knowledge02i00."02br
02br
00Will be content with some examples of their uses and the corresponding explanations as to why you used them as such.02br
02br
00I think I read in a previous post that someone said that this kind of phases are sometimes ( or most of the times) being used interchangeably. Is that true? 0-

00You can put "a" before "great knowledge of X".02br
00(01b00o02b00) He has great knowledge of medical science.02br
00(01b00o02b00) He has a great knowledge of medical science.02br
02br
00Otherwise, do not put "a" before "great knowledge"02br

00If I change the second pair of the sentences to include "in computer science," then would both sentences be OK?02br
02br
00(o) He showed great knowledge in computer science.02br

00(o) He showed a great knowledge in computer science. 0-

0 I think "great knowledge" without "a" is still better in this case.02br
