However, I guess by expertise one can list general cases where an article is omitted, and still the sentence remains consistent. I am looking forward for such examples. Thanks. | |
| Sep 12, 2014 at 12:21 | comment | added | Damkerng T. | Asking when can an article be omitted is rather too broad, in my opinion. It's extremely challenging to spell out all the cases. Basically, we can omit articles when we don't need them. (Just like I did with the word "articles" before that "when" in the previous sentence.) A bit more precise, this is usually about definite-indefinite, countable-uncountable, and idiomatic usages. As for your Login example, you could treat it as a different English. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headlinese for more details. | |
