Hello.

Which one is correct?

1. I bought a stamp and envelope.

2. I bought a stamp and an envelope.

3. I saw the man and woman.

4. I was the man and the woman.

Do I need to repeat an article every time I mention another noun?

Thank you.

I would not use 1. I would use 2. I would use 3 if I thought the man and woman were together - one sighting.

  • I would not use 1.
  • I would use 2.
  • I would use 3 if I thought the man and woman were together - one sighting.
  • I would use 4 if the man and the woman represented two different sightings.
