Answers
Can you pass me the sugar?
Answer:
a) No article
Explanation:
The correct option is "No article" because sugar is an uncountable noun, in this context, the speaker is asking for sugar in general, and not a specific quantity. In this case, it is not necessary to use "a" or "the" before sugar. It is implied that the person asking for sugar wants some sugar and not a specific sugar.
It is important to note that when a noun is uncountable it means we can't count it, for example, sugar, water, milk, etc. They are mass nouns and they are not preceded by a/an.
On the other hand, "A" is used when introducing something for the first time and "The" is used when the noun is already introduced and its specific. In this context, since the speaker is not asking for a specific sugar, neither "a" or "the" is used.
