such
0 Hi, 02 br
02 br
00 I think the usual recommendation regarding the usage of the word 'the' is that use 'such' with 'a', 'an' or write in the plural form for the countable nouns and don't use any determiners for the uncountable nouns like this: 02 br
02 br
00 such an apple 02 br
02 br
00 such apples 02 br
02 br
00 such nature 02 br
02 br
00 But according to the Collins Cobuild Advanced Learner's Dictionary, you can use 01 b 00 such 02 b 00 before noun groups to emphasize the extent of something or to emphasize something is remarkable. In this instance, could this apply both to countable nouns and uncountable nouns unlike the examples given above? 0-

0 If I understand your question aright-- the same rule applies: article before countable singular; no article before countable plurals and uncountables. The idea of emphasis is just an extension of the meaning of 'type'. 0-
