| I was wondering whether anybody could help me with the following sentence: 'There is no furniture in the house except from a fridge in the kitchen.' I assume the above is correct, yet I can't recollect a grammar rule explaining the use of the indefinite article in the sentence. Thanks a lot in advance for your help. S~ |

| Hi seba Ex: There is no furniture in the house except for a fridge in the kitchen. ![]() Ex: There is no furniture in the house except for fridge in the kitchen. ![]() => fridge is a count noun: it requires a determiner. 'a' = non-defined 'the' = defined Ex: There is no furniture in the house except for the fridge in the kitchen <define> that we bought 20 years ago. ![]() Ex: There is no furniture in the house except for a fridge in the kitchen, <define> the one that we bought 20 years ago. |
