Explanation:
Before Abstract/Uncountable Nouns
If the sentence consists of an abstract noun or a noun which cannot be counted, we do not use an article. Let us see a few examples of this
We were full of wisdom in his older years. (Wisdom is an abstract noun here. Notice how we do not say ‘the wisdom’)
She does not add sugar to her coffee. (Sugar is an uncountable noun. So it will not be the/a sugar)

Before Plural Nouns
In most cases, we will not use any noun before a plural noun. But if these nouns were talked in a particular sense, we will use “the” never “a/an”. But when talking about common plural nouns, the articles will be omitted. Some examples are as following
Some women are waiting for you by the door. (Women being plural, the articles are omitted)
One of the women has come to see you (Here we will use ‘the’, because a particular woman is being talked about)
