A square/ square ; a circle/ circle
Hello,
could you please explain me what is the difference between these words (with and without an article)?:
a square/ square
a circle/ circle
Is it linked to the topic of uncountable nouns or is it an adjective (that noun without an article)?
Thanks a lot in advance for your advice.
