When do you say 'a' in a sentence?
I'm always confused about those two when I am saying something abstract.
For below, do you have to say 'a'?
1) I want to work in 'a' medical research setting.
2) I want to work in medical research setting.
what about this one?
3)I work on 'a' cancer research.
4)I work on cancer research.
Thank you in advance!

anonymous 1) I want to work in 'a' medical research setting. 2) I want to work in medical research setting. The head noun "setting" is (in the sense relevant here) a singular countable noun, and as such it always needs an article or other determiner (potentially excluding certain special constructions).
