Doctor DYou should say:Do you want to have six-pack abs? No "a" at all.Thanks. Does the same apply for the second sentence?
Anonymous'a' six pack abs?Abs is plural. It is wrong to use the indefinite article (a) with a plural noun.
Doctor DYes. It's like saying: Do you want pasta for dinner? (No article needed).I see. Thanks. But you need the 'a' with sandwich or burger: Do you want (a) sandwich for dinner? (Is the article needed here?)
Doctor DAs the earlier post said: Plural.So the difference isDo you want pasta for dinner? (pasta is a plural noun)vsDo you want a bowl of pasta for dinner? (a single bowl).I see. So 'a' should be used with sandwich but not sandwiches, right?
Doctor D? (pasta is a plural noun)I'd say it was uncountable in English. The pasta is tasty,
fivejedjon Doctor D? (pasta is a plural noun)I'd say it was uncountable in English. The pasta is tasty,I see. And should 'a' be used with sandwich? (Do you want 'sandwich' or a 'sandwich' for dinner)
AnonymousAnd should 'a' be used with sandwich?Yes.
AnonymousAlso, if I use 'sandwiches' should the 'a' be excluded?Yes. You may use zero-article or 'some'...or 'two'.
