Hi. Please help. Can we write "This legislation will help the teacher teach effectively" to have the phrase "the teacher" to mean all the teachers in the profession of teaching? How about to refer to the species "cat" and "mouse," can we write "The cat is faster than the mouse"? I think for this (referring generally and to species), we can write three ways and they are all correct.
1. The cat is faster than the mouse.
2. A cat is faster than a mouse.
3. Cats are faster than mice.
1. The cat is faster than the mouse.
2. A cat is faster than a mouse.
3. Cats are faster than mice.
