Re: Indefinite article

MagdaHi,
could you tell whether my sentence requires the indefinite article?

"This ring has great sentimental value for me."

Thank you
I prefer it without because it refers to value. Is of value is the normal expressions.

Hello Magda

"To have value" is a set phrase. So I would omit the article here.
