Grammar
Limited + pl. noun
When using 'limited + plural noun', do I need 'a' infront?
For example,
a limited models
a limited kinds of ...
etc.
I thought because the noun is plural, 'a' would not be appropriate, but I am beginning to think different.
Thanks.

Hi Quibble No, the use of 'a' would not be correct in your examples. You can say ' a limited number of models ' because in that case the indefinite article 'a' refers to the word number , which is both a singular noun AND a single quantity.
