Question on determiners
Hi teachers!
I'm confused about the usage of null determiner(=with no determiner).
Here we don't talk about idioms.
Are all specific countable singular nouns must have a determiner "the" or "a/an" before?
See sentence listed is correct or not:
<I am student.>
And at the beginning of this post,I said:
?I'm confused about the usage of null determiner.?
I said "of null determiner",but not "the null determiner" or "null determiners". Actually,I don't know whether this expression is correct or not.Please correct it if isn't,and explain why it's not.
