I was in a hurry this morning. I didn’t have . . . . . . . . time for breakfast. A. a B. an C. the D. no article

a
an
the
no article

The correct answer is D. no article.

The word “time” is a non-count noun, which means it does not have a plural form and does not take a determiner (such as a or an) unless it is modified by a word that specifies the type of time. In the sentence “I didn’t have time for breakfast,” the word “time” is not modified, so it does not take an article.

Here are some other examples of non-count nouns:

  • water
  • air
  • love
  • happiness
  • information
  • money

Note that some non-count nouns can be used with articles when they are modified by a word that specifies the type of non-count noun. For example, we can say “I drank a glass of water” or “I need some information.”
