Complete the stressed college student's text message to their roommate. Choose the correct option for each blank.
I am absolutely terrible at _________________________ mathematics! I spent all night in the library, and now I just want to go home and climb right into _________________________ bed. Unfortunately, I have to give a presentation in _________________________ Spanish first. Wish me luck!
The correct answers are no article, no article, and no article.
All three of these gaps require the zero article!
- We don't use articles before academic subjects (mathematics, biology, history).
- We use no article before certain nouns like bed, school, prison, or hospital when we are referring to their primary purpose (going to bed to sleep).
- We use no article before the names of languages (Spanish, English, Mandarin), unless the word "language" is explicitly added (e.g., the Spanish language).
