 List Banner Exchange

Like abstract nouns mass/material/ nouns are used without an article in their most general meanings. For example :All that glitters is not gold. The prisoner was given only bread and water. Houses were built of stone.


· If these nouns denote different sorts or a portion of the given substance the indefinite article is used. For example: This is a very good butter/that kind of butter/


· If these nouns denote concrete instance of a substance the definite article is used .For example: He took a mouthful of the wine. Please, pass me the salt.


· If a material noun denotes an object made of this material it is used with articles as a count noun. For example: Here is a glass, some water and a coin.
