When I was searching for the word 'envoy' in Macmillan dictionary, there was an example sentence:
He was formerly French envoy at the Hague.
I do not understand, why there is not an article before 'French envoy'. It is countable noun and countable nouns are generally preceded by an article. Or aren't they?
Thanks
