This Lesson is about Omission of articles. A(or ) an & the article omitted in the Sentence. No articles before uncountable and abstract nouns used in a general sense. No articles before plural countable nouns used in a general sense Repetition of article: I have a black and white cow. The sentence given above means that I have a cow that is partly white and partly black. Now read the following sentence: I have a black and a white cow.  (= I have two cows, one black and the other white.) Thus we have seen that when two or more adjectives qualify the same noun, the article is used before the first adjective only. When two or more adjectives qualify different nouns, either expressed or understood, the article is used before each adjective.
