What Are Some Good Nerf Guns?

The name without the article

Here is an example of misuse of the indefinite: for "as a consumer" should have read "as a consumer." The reason is not so easy to explain. On the one hand the noun is acting as a predicate (and thus somehow transposed to the category of adjectives), and in fact is in conformity with the subject. Thus, in the last paragraph the writer refers to in the plural referring citizens of their rights "as consumers" (how many times is the owner and not the body of the story you write badly, maybe trouble or nervousness period end).

The grammars, from Rafael Seco, distinguish the definite article ( the / the ) of indeterminate ( a / an ) actually taking the idea of \u200b\u200bFrench grammar. Amado Alonso showed that the indefinite article Castilian can not be considered because it is a tonic and noun, that is, it behaves just like other adjectives determinative or decisive. E l article precludes rather the absence article, so that "the article name refers to objects without him existential and essential items." In the view of Amado Alonso, with the noun expresses article quantitatively and without the article, qualitatively. It was certainly a pioneer who opened a thought provoking way to study grammar in context of discourse and its context.

Eugenio Coseriu show that Castilian then actually set up an opposition between the article and all the determinants, including indefinite a / an , so that these realities are not known yet introduced in the communicative context (one day , my book, two friends ). Once the item designated by the noun, it should use the item ( the day, the book, friends ) to express that the object has already been submitted and is something known by the partners:

Down the street came a stranger. I wanted to say hello but the stranger ...

No indefinite article and the noun shows "not updated" as the only carrier independent concept, as presented in concept in a definition:

Input any consumable is involved in the production process ...

is not " an input "or especially" the input "I need for this product, but the concept you want to define. So when you say that people should know their rights" as consumers "is that this right is granted on that ground, that is, in that it well defined.
