Hi.
"His rook hit a big three enemy squares"

if big means important, why does it take an indefinite article?if not, What does it mean?
  

Top answer

I suppose it means 'important'. Why wouldn't it take an indefinite article? There might be several important squares.

  • I suppose it means 'important'.
  • Why wouldn't it take an indefinite article?
  • There might be several important squares.
  • 'Squares', on the contrary, seems to be a misprint: it should be singular (and 'three-enemy' should be hyphenated).
