Required.

Thanks a lot, deardrat. That was what I thought.

BTW, I am Joe, and you have been helping me a lot.

I am assuming that the article is required in both of these as well:

The flight was canceled due to 'a' medical emergency.
The flight had 'an' emergency.

Am I right?

Glad to meet you, Joe, and also glad to have helped.

Correct for the emergencies.

deadratCorrect for the emergencies.

What do you mean. Do you mean that they are required?

I meant that you are correct. They're required.

deadratI meant that you are correct. They're required.

I see. Thanks a lot. And the same thing applies, as we have discussed previously, the use of the plural 'emergencies' in both sentences does not require them and it would be wrong to use them. Right?

Right.

deadratRight.

Awesome. I can't thank you enough for your help!
