Answer 2

1. Every day my brother and I get up at eight o'clock and walk to school. I like school. It's fun. In this sentence, we do not need an article before school because it is a general statement. We are talking about school in a general sense, without specifying a specific school.

2. He sat at the piano for hours, playing favorite pieces from classical music. In this sentence, we do not need an article before piano because it is a common noun and we are not referring to a specific piano. We also do not need an article before hours because it is used in a general sense, indicating a duration of time.

3. My brother is a pupil. In this sentence, we need the article "a" before pupil because it is a countable noun and we are referring to one specific pupil, which is the brother of the speaker.

4. When does your mother leave home for work? In this sentence, we do not need an article before home because it is used in a general sense, indicating the place where someone lives. We also do not need an article before work because it is used in a general sense, referring to the general concept of work.

5. My new dress is made of silk. In this sentence, we do not need an article before silk because it is a material and we are referring to the kind of material the dress is made of in a general sense. We are not talking about a specific silk.

6. If you want to write something on the blackboard, you must have a piece of chalk. In this sentence, we need the article "a" before piece because we are referring to one specific piece of chalk. We also need the article "a" before chalk because it is a countable noun and we are referring to one specific chalk.
