always no article?
Hi,
Every so often I see sentences with phrases with the pattern like "from N to N" and "(from/by) N by N" and am wondering are they t always without the ariticles in front of Ns?
eg,
Monkeys like to go from tree to tree
The event is being monitored hour by hour.

This is just idiomatic English. You can say: He traveled from town to town , or: He traveled from one town to another . Articles are often left out in expressions that contain opposites : He studied from morning till evening .
