I'm really confused about some particularities of the usage of articles, more specifically - when can they be omitted. Here are some examples, loosely based on sentences I've written in the past. Please tell me if the bolded articles could or should be omitted.
1) "Are you implying that the native speakers are the only ones using Google?"
2) "You've no idea what you're talking about. Gosh, such a display of ignorance!"
3) "I don't know how to get there, I guess I'll ask the natives to show me."
I don't have any exact reasons why I believe the articles might be unnecessary in these examples, but intuitively I feel like there may be some.
