mom beats me.

Hi teachers,

Mom beats me. Is it correct or do I have to add an article?


Many thanks.

It's correct.

It's correct.

Sad but true.

Where would you have added an article?

 

[Naeem Afzal]

Before "mom" as "the/my".

Before "mom" as "the/my".

As long as you refer to your own parents you don't use the article, you just say Mom or Dad (use capital letters).

However, there is nothing wrong with "My mum/mom/mother beats me". Grammatically, I mean, not morally!

Before "mom" as "the/my".

Note that 'my' is not an article. It's a determiner or possessive adjective.
