To refer to the actual goods in a shop, use the goods. The zero-article with goods in this shop cannot refer to any definite goods in the shop. See here | |

| Oct 23, 2014 at 12:30 | comment | added | Nikolay Komolov | Thanks) Just one more question her: "I love goods in this shop" means that I love most of the goods in it? And saying "I love the goods in this shop" implies that I love all the goods in it? Right? Thanks! | |
