The use of articles ("a," "an," and "the" or zero article) is an area of special significance for multilingual writers, since it is characterized by wide variation across languages. In consequence, any error in this area will be very noticeable in any text as a mark of non-native writing. Given this fact, it is important for multilingual writers to master the use and non-use of articles and to learn the meaning their use/non-use conveys in English with reference to other languages, French in our case.
