Dec 11, 2014 at 19:04	comment	added	Nikolay Komolov		Thank You for your reply. It is really helpful a lot! I hope this time my commentaries won't last long... :) I have some examples seemed confusing: "I was in the forest. Trees were really dark, clouds were very white" - Everyone expects trees at the forest and understands there can be clouds on the sky there, can I introduce them as a first mention with zero article? Is it grammatical in such context?; and this one "I sat into a car. A driver was funny" - is it OK? Do these examples sound like talking down to?
