Could you please explain the usage of an indefinite articles before uncountable nouns proceded by adjectives, for instance:
I am looking forward to an everlasting friendship
or
I am looking forward to everlasting friendship.
And it would be very helpful of you if you provide a detailed answer with a wide range of examples.
Thank you so much. This forum is something to crow about, indeed.
In your example, I would say 'an everlasting friendship' because I am referring to an instance of friendship (with that person), not friendship in general.
