Could you help me analyze this sentence grammatically?
Hi everyone...
Could you help me analyze this sentence grammatically?
You may have noticed that when it is time to begin a writing assignment, you suddenly develop an enormous desire to straighten your books, water your plants, or sharpen your pencils for the fifth time.
Is it grammatically correct to place an article 'a' before words 'writing assignment'?
If it's true, does it changed the meaning if the 'a' article is eliminated?
You may have noticed that when it is time to begin writing assignment, you suddenly develop an enormous desire to straighten your books, water your plants, or sharpen your pencils for the fifth time.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I think it'll be grammatically incorrect if you drop the "a" in front of the "writing assignment" because the "assignment" here is a countable noun ("writing" is an adjective). Hope this helps. -Mira
