"Such A/An" after descriptions
Hi. Could you shed light on the following point? Suppose we have a text of this form:
(Sentence(s) that describe an approach). Such (an) approach will surely appeal to you.
The question is whether to use an indefinite article in such contexts. Indeed, on the one hand, using "such a/an" could perhaps emphasize the approach, on the other — an indefinite article after "such" seems to be inappropriate precisely because we have a description of the approach.
Thanks.

The indefinite article ( a/an ) is not optional in those cases. You must use it if the associated noun is singular. Omit it for the plural.
