ZERO ARTICLE
Dialog: "Presidential suites are R$ 1,300 per night plus tax..."
Nouns usually have an article; the indefinite articles 'a' or 'an' or the definite article 'the'. However, sometimes there is no article associated with a noun and this is called the zero article. When we use plural nouns to make a generalization about a class of things we use the zero article.
ZERO ARTICLE (for things/people in general)
- Business executives tend to receive very high salaries. But the executives at my company have chosen to accept lower wages.
- It is enjoyable to watch children playing happily in the park.
- My father is terrified of heights.
- Ethnic wars across Africa are causing tremendous social and political difficulties.
- Brazilian novelists are considered some of the best authors in the world.
- If there is one thing I cannot stand, it's spiders!
