I always have problems when it comes to using articles in English and find it even more difficult when I have to enumerate some things, places etc.
Which of the following sentences are correct (let's imagine I'm asking a hotel employee what facilities they have at their hotel):
- Do you have a swimming pool, a sauna, satellite television and a health spa?
('a' - before countable nouns; no article before 'satellite tv' because it's uncountable)
- Do you have a swimming pool, sauna, satellite tv and health spa?
- Do you have swimming pool, sauna, satellite tv and health spa?
I sometimes see descriptions of hotels, restaurants where there are no articles. Can I omit them just like I did in some of the sentences above?
Thanks in advance for all the replies![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
