Question

Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options. If you don’t find any error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer.
They were grateful for a bread we gave them.

A.

They were grateful

B.

No error

C.

for a bread

D.

we gave them

Correct option is C


Option (c) contains an error. The correct phrase should be "for the bread" instead of "for a bread." In English, "bread" is typically an uncountable noun when referring to the substance itself, so it is not used with the indefinite article "a" unless specifying a particular type or loaf.
· Grammatical rule used: Uncountable nouns do not take an indefinite article ("a" or "an") unless specifying a particular kind or measured amount of the substance.
· Example: They asked for water, not for a water.
