I learn english for about 20 years, and still sometimes articles make me mad. This question has few related sub-questions about articles.
Can you please explain these sentences:
- "Waiting for remote server" - no definite article. Does adjective
remote
serves as a replacement of an article? - "Program exited" - no definite article, although it is clear that the exact program was meant.
The examples above are taken from https://golang.org/
- "Waiting for remote server" - no definite article. Does adjective
"He borrowed the teacher’s book." - is
the
related to teacher or to a book? Or it depends on the context? Canthe
be related to both teacher and book?Can any adjectives other than posessives (my, his, etc.) and demonstratives (this, that, etc.) make articles unnecessary? E.g.: "I gave him my (this) pen". Or only posessives and demonstratives have such a magic ability?
Did I do any mistakes of using articles while writing this question?
