Teachers! I need your help!!!
1) Is it ok to omit(a?:do I need to say "a noun") noun after "the+adverb+adjective+noun(?)"
For example, "He looks the most similar."
2) I was told by a teacher that it's wrong to say "in bowl, please!" when ordering a salad.
I want to understand why adding the article "a" is necessary in this case. Since the word "bowl" indicates the generalization of "bowl" as in the case of the word "noun" in Sentence 1), couldnt(is it ok to use this expression by the way? Or rather "wouldnt" is the right expression?) it be ok to omit "a"? Could you explain me when not to use articles?
3) when someone asks me whether I'm still using the(right?) equipment in the gym, I usually answer him, "yeah just a few more sets left" or "no, you can go, go on". Are these awkward expressions, expecially "you can go"?
For example, "He looks the most similar."
