Talking about the zero article is useful
when we’re describing how to use articles
The zero article we mean that we do not
use any article in front of a noun.
In other words, we do not use a/an or the.
Also ..
We don’t use an article if we’re talking
about things in general
- Do you like cheese?
But if we want to talk about a specific piece
of cheese we can use an article and say:
- Pass me the cheese please!
there is more cases for the Zero Article , but that's enough
for the elementary level
