Hello,
If we use primal sin (as in original sin), I take it we need an article because we're referring to a specific sin. As humans, we're all slaves to the primal sin.
I feel 'the' is necessary (instead of 'a' or no article) because it refers to something specific.
Is this right?
Kindly,

Anonymous I feel 'the' is necessary (instead of 'a' or no article) because it refers to something specific. That sounds reasonble to me, though I would also accept the version without any article. CJ

Is it because the word sin is both count and noncount?
