Default Re: An English major student..

David said he was an English major student. I was going to introduce Susan to David.

So we(David, Susan and I) hung out last night and had a nice dinner at the corner of Wall Street. David talked his head off all night about American literature. Susan had to sit and listen and said nothing(This is really bad when two people first meet). He had interesting perspectives on literature though. After dinner, I phoned Susan and asked her what she thought about David.

Susan asked me why he knew a lot about those boring literature.

I said, "He is the English major student I told you before! Remember?"

Susan, "Oh, that David."

"So how do you feel?"




Yes, you can use a definite article before a noun. But there has to be a certain context.
